The Left-Handed Drawing series began after I injured my right shoulder and I could not draw or paint with my hand without it hurting. So, I switched to my left hand, which is incredibly untrained and awkward. I started out by drawing images from my record collection and liked the quality of the drawing and the obvious distortions that emerged. Each drawing took a long time as if I were learning to draw again like when I was very young. |

The Claimed Masters series is based on a long history of artists reclaiming art historical images and re-interpreting the results. My project started with pages from a book called Great Prints and Printmakers from the 19th century with artists such as Boucher and Degas and I added my own drawing on top of the print intentionally confusing the "Master's" hand and my own. Often the images were collaged from different pages and different artists. |
