141

141 used to be the extension to the bacteriology lab that my father-in-law worked in. However, I decided to take a new slant on the phone in question, and other than an engaged tone, there's only 6 other extensions to call, who they go through to however is a different matter.

Trauma

Most of my art tends not to come from such a dark place within myself, however occasionally situations arise in life that can force feelings back out into the open again. This piece comes from a trauma I struggle with when unwanted sound comes my way, and manifested over two years of my life during 2006-2008. It was not a place I desired to relive, and I don't really want to go into a full explanation about it. So, hopefully the art speaks for itself.

The Making Place

XV

I had become annoyed and frustrated prior to drawing this piece, and it wasn't until I had finished it, that I realized it had come from somewhere very deep within myself, basically what in Jungian psychology is called the shadow.

The reason I have called the piece 'XV' is it also appears to be my own representation of the 15th card in the Tarot's Major Arcana. Due to this realization, I might re-draw the piece more precisely and not in charcoal; and am contemplating whether I should experiment in drawing my own representations of the other cards.

The Room

This drawing was done back in April 2009, as an illustration for a short story called The Room It has since been decided that the illustration can now also appear on my blog.

This is actually a photograph not a scan, as on Monday I found the largest canvas available to hand at the time, which just happened to be a huge cardboard box, grabbed some charcoal and then just let go!
