I think it was around this time last year that I remembered to draw. I probably talked about how drawing is a luxury and isn't on the agenda for a productive painting day. But really, there is something about the process of drawing that unravels my creative knots. With drawing I let go of what I think I should be painting and of how I should be painting it. Then better, fluid processes happen and my ideas develop themselves. Drawing is direct but flexible. Nothing is too precious so I easily add and eliminate elements, working until it feels right. Then that same process spills over into painting and suddenly I see solutions. Also, I'm not constrained by what I thought the painting was about, the painting directs my ideas.
My drawings inspire and are not to be defined. They determine nothing. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous world of the undetermined. They are a kind of metaphor. Odilon Redon
I love this quote.
Redon is one of my favorite artists.
