Those 15 minutes

June 17, 2017

Today I want to write about those 15 minutes when I "leave" the studio (but don't). I take one last look at the works I have produced during that day, take photos, and... Oh let's change this bit, or that bit. And I end-up staying 15mins longer, or an hour. In those 15 minutes, there's so much less pressure, and perhaps I've come to a certain place in the process where it feels like I've been "rehearsing" all day for that final moment, and I just go for it. I almost "don't care", in a good way, and often I end-up being more productive than I have in the previous hours of studio work. And there is this lingering feeling that I don't want to leave the pieces alone overnight, that I will miss them like babies. There's for sure an attachment to my pieces, especially when they are not quite finished and anything is possible. I love that feeling that anything is still possible, that I can still completely fuck it up or turn it into something great.

I'd like more of the day to be like those 15 minutes, care-free and intense.

The boobs are back...
When I was little, all I drew were naked women, and occasionally naked men. The women were always big, and the men really small.
I’m enjoying getting back into some people drawings, people with boobs mainly.

New Workshop folks! Friday 1st February, 1-4pm. £18 per person.
I am very pleased to introduce my brand new workshop I had in mind for a while... it’s called “Meet & Draw”, and we will be starting the new year with the British Museum.
When I was a little girl, I loved to draw in museums, I simply just brought in my sketchbook, my pens, sat down somewhere and off we went! I think that drawing is one of the most exciting things to do in life, it’s intimate, it can be meditative, and it is simply fun!
There’s such a great pleasure in observing something full of history and beauty, and making it new again on the page. The British Museum is especially inspiring to me, and I will take us on a journey inside the museum, we will find our spots and draw together through a set of exercises. We will be mixing up figurative and abstract drawing.
Each student brings their own materials and sketchbook.
We will be visiting the free parts of the museum, so there’s no fee on top!
I hope to see you there, link in bio!
