New 2017 Drawings using iPad Pro

Using an iPad Pro and "Procreate app for iPad", I'm creating drawings that start in my sketchbook and get finished on my iPad. 

It's an Experiment, an Exploration.

New Photograms

Photograms created for a photography competition: Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clara, CA 

 

 

I have been making Photograms for over 20 years, but I have just recently started incorporating appropriated images into them. Before this addition, the photograms were pure abstractions but eluded to imagined imagery in the same way that looking at clouds evoke the imagination.

 A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The usual result is a negative shadow image that shows variations in tone that depends upon the transparency of the objects used. Areas of the paper that have received no light appear white; those exposed through transparent or semi-transparent objects appear grey.

The origin of these photograms began with the collection of some favorite images: iconic photographs,  images of some works by Albrecht Durer,  and drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci. Together, in a moment,  they sparked an idea and developed into an interrelated sequence. The rest was easy, especially since Diane would be taking care of the darkroom work.

Title: Infinity Plow 12 x 15 x 7 inches

All drawings are from Sketchbook #25 - 2009
First conceptual drawing was created in sketchbook on August, 2009.
The drawings came from the premise that an ancient hero retreated, leaving his battle equipment behind.

First drawing: Retreat

Drawing made to establish some crude proportions, (crude because I never intended this sculpture to have any accuracy, and I suspect that it is not based on reality).

Drawings for the "strap on wings", boots and helmet

Wax patterns: wings, armor, boots and helmet

Drawing: Searching for a composition or an arrangement.

Wax pattern details

I'm working to finish all wax patterns in time to cast and finish, making this sculpture my last for 2009.
