Drawing and skeletons

"Drawing is the bones of thought" says Dorothea Rockburne, in an interview for MoMA exhibit:

Dorothea Rockburne: Drawing Which Makes Itself (September 21, 2013-February 2, 2014).

"...the bones of thought"-- it presents an interesting image.

A skeleton then, in homage to the idea itself.

Is is true they have cut drawing from the core curricula of Fine Arts degrees? Boneheaded decision?

The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières. I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

Still Life = Nature Morte

"Oh", he said, "still life?"

"Hmmmmm" I thought, "abstract still life?"

Collage with ink (8" x 6")

Still, there is life, so if it is still life, why is it not lifeless or dead -- like it is in French -- "nature morte".

Free Range (Upton Farm) study

Fields and tree -- roaming freely; is it the same tree?

Acrylic on paper (22" x 15")

Like our thoughts on a summer day; are they the same thoughts?

Busy Lives

Getting up and going places, intersecting with worlds, other worlds, other places and other spaces.

Ink drawing (6" x 4")

Sometimes colliding...

Energy unleashed.
