The following images were drawn to Deep Purple's "Green onions/Hush
and Black night" live versions.
I see and hear shapes from the music and these are translated on the
page real time.
There was no pre conceived idea of what the image will look
like. I began drawing
from left to right. An exhilarating experience both
mentally and visually.
The instrumental sounds surround the cube shapes and
there was no pausing
while drawing them.
There is also a section, in colour where I drew "blind" this
was towards the end of
making the image. The spaces were expressed through the point where instrumental
music was played. There was factors of proximity and
distance, convergence,
progression and regression which were influenced by the
sound, and depicted in
colour, direction and overlaps. All lines, spaces,
colours and volumes interact to
set up space tensions.
There was also sensitivity to the pressure of the pencil on the medium,
soft or hard, and in all direction overlapping lines.
I worked with layers in colours, listening to the same song a few times
until the layers were completed.
