Resting Girl

After I had spent some years defining still life with shapes, my mind switched to using basic geometry as an essential alphabet for deciphering the human form. In late autumn of 2002, I began to have weekly drawing sessions with models (helpful friends, as I could barely afford my studio). My intent here was to use the implied indentations of invisible shapes to define Gwen's face... Later on, I would display most of these drawings and paintings at "Figurative Forms: Shaping the Lens", my second solo show.
