From the Harvest


graphite/30x20cm

In another of this year's very occasional detours from The Project, presenting a selection of the very few quinces borne by the japonica in one of its less fruitful years...
Such still life drawings - a number of which were made & posted last year - differ significantly from the newspaper-sourced work in that they are invariable completed in one short(ish) sitting, whilst one is engaging with the subject in its environment, its spatial arrangement & the prevailing light conditions.
As previously, referencing particularly an aspect of some of the work of Euan Uglow (& to a lesser extent that of Giorgio Morandi), the objects are closely-spaced - for the most part - in order to attempt to convey some form of positive, dynamic 'charge' in the spaces between.
