This large scale charcoal drawing employs the overlapping shape and ambiguous shading found in some of my other drawings as well as oil paintings. The Incisortise series is based from a dream I had of a large, flat turtle laying on a small grassy peninsula edged by large boulders, which reminded me of a lower jaw. The drawing series was intended to have a very iconic, symbolic, even mask-like look. I had been studying ritual mask-making in many cultures while working on these pieces, so it is natural that they found their way into the work I was creating during that period, even if I was not consciously including them. These designs eventually led to the Tetragrammaton oil painting series. |
