Touch drawings


Experimenting with Touch Drawings. I created these drawings by literally closing my eyes and groping myself! Well my face at least! Feeling the shape of my face, holes (such as in the ears) and lumps and bumps ( chin, jaw, cheekbones). I created a series of these self portraits using pastels and inks; often re-working on top of a previous sketch to create a sense of history in the layering process.

I like these Touch self portraits becausee they are quite child-like in a way, and experimental which i really like. (And yes that chubby infant is me!)

Here's two of my collection:
