Draft 2 Reflections

January 8, 2012 Deborah Santoro

My daughter says that this looks like scribbles. Hopefully when it is finished it will look like leaves floating on reflections. It was nice to work tonight with some suggestions from the book on drawing I’m reading. I put a desk light in my work area, over my right side since I’m left handed so I don’t have to worry about cast shadows from my hand. Working from right to left to avoid smearing the paper, putting a piece of paper underneath the drawing hand to keep it from smearing the graphite. Also, I was extra careful to wash my hands first to avoid getting oil on the paper.

Must go, the children call.

My work deals with themes of human and nonhuman intelligence, and what it means to return home when the nature of home itself is nebulous and undefined. As an interdisciplinary artist with homebases in painting and printmaking, I explore the interstitial spaces between these and other media, relishing the borderlands–the slippage between idea and medium. Lens based ways of looking interact with a fierce love of materiality that echoes the earth itself, and the ways in which humanity interacts with the homeostatic systems that comprise Gaia, the living earth.
