Instinct

Graphite on handmade paper
each 56 × 38 cm

The new series Instinct is a kind of visual diary, a kind of protocol of a regained pleasure in drawing freely and in the immediacy of visual expression. It contains sketches, most of them subtly ironic figurative images augmented by handwritten terms. Added to this are visual associations, people drawn with elongated limbs or strange bodily extensions, faceless portraits, and affects translated into line drawings. The sequence of images consists of 90 drawings made in graphite on handmade paper in 2016 and 2017.
