Drawing As Performance

.



Let me introduce you to two women who take their automatic drawing very seriously. Their art is about drawing as time based performance, but delve deeper into their oeuvres and the similarities start to dissipate and you begin to appreciate how their individual personalities shape their work.

You'll find this to be an extremely fascinating visual and mental excursion that will make you think differently about drawing in general and your own efforts in particular.
.
Gosia and Morgan have both exhibited at Kentler International Drawing Space. If you're into Line and Drawing-for-drawing's-sake, you'll want to spend some time snooping around; amazing collection of artists. (Click on Archives and then an event . . . . You'll want to google some names to find out more because they don't have an Artists page.)
