In Costume
Orbiting within patterns
of a social history
as our selves.
Evading the uncertainties,
of freedom to appear
as our selves.
Yesterday I had the opportunity
to draw “M”, “The Queen” in two sessions, in what turned out to be similar
poses, one restricted, the other free.
In: 12”x 18” ebony graphite and
pastel on craft paper
Not: 18”x 24” ebony graphite,
sanguine and chalk on colored paper
Great work.
