As I already pointed out in one of my previous posts, I'm not drawn to color right now, but love the simple things: a piece of paper and an inkpen. I use to draw with Staedtler ink pens on thick ARCHE paper 300g, mainly because I'm used to this paper, it's off-white color and grainy but still smooth surface, and I like that the drawings look a bit like etchings on this paper.
The process is always the same, I sit comfortably, and hold the ink pen loosely in one hand, either the right or the left hand, and draw while thinking of an idea, an experience, a feeling, a person, a situation. The emotions come from the heart, the unconscious, the body and then they travel through my conscious mind, into my eager hand:) while my eyes watch, harmonize and wait.
It's very exciting to observe what emerges on the paper....
"TODAY" - a day unwinds, meandering through my occupations, doing this and that, meeting other people, working, relaxing.
"BLIND NUCLEUS" - drawn with my eyes shut, I try to create a center, in which I can stay a while and meditate...
"ALL LIES" - Here I wanted to create some tension between different kind of marks, lines, dots, circles and slashes, composing a sort of map. The title popped up right after the last stroke:)
"OYSTER" - in need of protection (a side effect of misty, dark November?) and wanting to protect, but stay in contact with the surrounding world, a symbiosis too
"MUSIC" - I love this one, music floating through the air, like a gift from above, it's not really a substance, but you can feel it and almost touch it and play with strands of sounds...I wish you a very pleasant weekend, we have mild temperatures here in Paris, sunshine and rain alternate, and France just scored a goal in the Eire/France match:)
love
Andrea

So beautiful Andrea! I love the marks you're making, they're so sensitive. The floating one is just that! :)
Your art is always so provocative. These are no exception.

Andrea--
It is so refreshing to discover someone like you who understands the real purpose of art on such a deep level. Your themes are my themes--balance, meditation, centering the interior in the face of the unending assault on our consciousness, the appeal to simplify and turn away from the stuff and nonsense of this life. I am happy to note that you're work is discovering itself, courageously, unconcerned with its own ego, with you the observer--the correct and most healthy position for the artist to take (as opposed to the numb adolescent show-off approach). Your little drawings clearly say that. Your "All Lies" takes the shape of a goats head (appropriately) to my eye. Did you intend this? It is a phenomenal piece. Bravo, Andrea. Thank you for expressing these things in such a direct way.
I am your newest fan,
Wm Cook
