THE PROTAGONIST

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I tend to do when I come home to NY, I rummage through old diaries and sketchbooks. This time I decided to scan some of my teenage drawings. The above images are a series I created which depict the body in order to convey emotion. I want to make art like this again.

 

Mixed in amongst all these angst-ridden/surrealistic drawings were the below quotations about laughter and the definition of the word 'fun' and 'earthy'. My interests really haven't changed in 20 years!

 

 

 

This is a drawing made by my alter-ego Granny Fanny which I am donating to my students at The Cass (London Metropolitan University) for their auction. The drawing depicts the fantasy of an anonymous 20-something year old female art-school graduate who Granny Fanny had the pleasure to meet at The Rihzome exhibition last October. Her fantasy was of female body parts melding into one another. Granny really enjoyed making  this drawing. I hope it gets a lot of bids at the auction.
