charcoal on stonehenge paper

A ripped sheet of 50” wide Stonehenge became our only drawing surface for each morning of our 12-hour studio that met in a grueling sequence of four-days “on” followed by two days “off” for the first two and half weeks of the five-week semester. On cue, we found our position around one of two enormous still-life compositions filling the second-floor interior of the historic Waterman Building, itself an object, and smudged away the previous day’s drawing with a shammy, leaving a toned surface on which to begin anew.

As such, none of the drawings captured on this page remains. Each photo was taken in process or right before erasure.
