How I Start a Drawing - ink volleyball gestures
Here are a few gestures from a volleyball game at which I was a spectator. These kinds of drawings always remind me of wire sculptures - an art form that I really enjoy. I did these in a little notebook that I often carry - one of the drawings has my notes in Gregg shorthand - another art form, as well as a communication device. I still use shorthand most days and am thinking of ways to incorporate it into my artwork. Several years ago, I saw that done in a painting - it was more of an assemblage that featured a key on a cord that was draped in front of the shorthand. Really unique and beautiful. Anyway, back to the present - I realize that these drawings don't appear to be very substantial, but for me, all the art I do starts this way. Thanks for looking.
