Some Musical Drawings
Here are a number of related drawings. I am trying to capture a sense of movement with different types of lines and shapes repeating and interacting with each other and then look at the different shapes and forms that develop from the interaction - the harmonics - between their encounters.
In the sketches I am often looking for a fast way to capture a fleeting idea that comes to me while I am listening to music. I am not trying to draw the music but rather my interaction to listening to it. It is impossible really because music is so complex and moving much more swiftly than you can capture with a pencil.
There is what you can experience and then there is what you can draw. It is like speaking; you have to interpret a non verbal experience into words and linguistic structures. They are never going to match up or be an equivalent to each other. But while you are drawing you see new things, new suggestions of a trail, new possibilities to pursue.
Great to visit with you and yours in Funky Town❣️
My eyes see these wonderful drawings and my ears strain to hear it as well and together, my imagination is stirred into something marvelous that has taken place both in what what the actual music was played and heard by you, but your interpretation of it and put on paper for us to experience even remotely. I really enjoy the movement of your drawings and how it tickles my senses.
