contour | life drawing S'16


In her gesture drawings, Tricia adds a contour line. It is a standard weighted formula - more bull-nose edge than flesh. Clinically detached, the line ls more mass produced than human.

With closer observation, contours now swaddle the figure with compassion. As she rotates the charcoal in her fingertips, every bump, indentation, and shadow, is a mound of human frailty - so imperfect, so plump, and so stunningly real.
