Computer Generated wrapping paper sketch

Looking at You
For the artist this is one of the most delicate balancing acts-on the one hand, it is very dangerous to separate practice from the "real thing"; on the other hand, if we start judging what we do we will not have the safe space in which to experiment. Our practice resonates between both poles. We are "just playing," so as to be free to experiment and explore without fear of premature judgment. At the same time we play with total commitment. T.S Eliot said that each word, each action "is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat. And artist Rico Lebrun said, " I am never agitated in executing forms, but travel rather as if the terrain of the paper was land-mined. When this journey is completed, a drawing is born.
