My god you've been busy!!
I'm just back and trying to catch up with reading your blog - hopefully some meaningful comments will follow! for the time being I'm too jet-lagged to respond with proper criticism!
I do like the heads drawings though - I assume these are yours? and the earlier one (dead head) too?
Also in our blog group are Sunil, Reg (no blog yet), Aline and Jin - their web addresses are posted on my blog I think!
Have you contacted Dale yet? He has responded to me a couple of times - one suggestion was really useful.
Hi Lynda, hope Canada was good?
Yes the heads are my own work. I can only really do art stuff when I am away from teaching. I am overwhelmed at present. (I am thinking of resigning.)
Thank god for term hols or I'd have no work to show!!
P.S lots of my blogs have no comments which is soul destroying; could you spare a few mins to crit them? All is well with Dale. Mx
Thank you Caroline. I wanted to combine uncanny elements with a de-skilled' aesthetic that I admire so much in outsider art (which is often deeply uncanny and disturbing) and in the drawings of contemporary artists like Mark Manders or even David Shrigley. I feel there is a connection between the uncanny and the de-skilled aesthetic but at present I cannot articulate nor theorise the connection. Thank you for your comments;I really need the encouragement. It has been difficult for me to draw 'badly' and unconsciously. Mx
