The Drawing Project

The Drawing Project at Hampden Studio Gallery Space

This was a really wonderful project and I send out a special thank you to Anne LaPrade Seuthe and Kathleen Cammarata for putting it together.

The Drawing itself was a full body experience.
Being a collaboration, no ownership was involved....A sense of freedom and expansion was present for all the artists who participated (5 of us). For me, I found myself exploring the quality of line. I enjoyed being more expressive in my line work and less exacting. This felt like a big transformation for me. I am now inspired to explore in large drawing format...Maybe I will do one at Vermont Studio this July during my residency.

I have decided to add some close up photos of some mini compositions that were included into the bigger drawing. They were quite beautiful~

Day 1 of the Collaborative Drawing Project in Progress

The Hampden Studio Gallery Space is 3 walls, the 2 side walls are about 10 ft. long and 8 ft. high and the wall that connects them is about 25 ft long and also about 8 ft. high. Five artists led by Kathleen Cammarata met today for 7 hours to work on a large scale collaborative drawing project. These two images are my favorite parts of the drawing right now........but could change tomorrow!...We will be meeting again for another 5 hours (or so) to finish and will be presenting our creation at the Artist Reception from 5:30 to 7 pm. Sat night April 3rd.
