Notes


About the Artwork

Forager (Drawing As Fog) depicts a hand reaching for a single strand of plant. It is part of a ongoing series called Drawing As Fog

What arises from ‘the fog’ as you ‘draw closer’ holds an idea of working with uncertainty while letting unexpected things arrive. It relates to Keats's Negative Capability; to work with ‘negative capability’ is to work towards a vision even if that vision or the path thereto is clouded and full of uncertainty. 

Working with ‘drawing as fog’, your vision might first be blurred with the first marks made, but the closer you get to the final state the more you see of the future sight/site. 

The more steps you make, or take, the closer you get to the outlines of a work.
