bill henson lecture

35 blind contour sketches of bill henson from his lecture on light + dark + shades of grey.
i do like light and dark and grey. he says that most things are grey. he likes titian.
one, two, three, four, five, six
and an introduction.nineteen faces and two sets of hands rested intertwined on knees.
one face and nine hands. making discussion gestures.
nine faces, one small quote - "lost domain of childhood" - and one bill henson signature.
along with one softly-heard and unscripted quote:
"i need a wig."

collage of collager.

as mentioned previously (collage trial part A),
i went to a talk at the NGV where fiona macdonald spoke.
and so this mini-collage was born.
she made lots of nice hand gestures, and helf them still for a number of seconds. making them super to draw.
so i did.
i think i have them pretty accurately on the sides of her body according to which hand was making the gesture.

A. note-taking page
B. some of the little cut-out paper pieces which were all over the keyboard
C. a gesture of hands. i'm making up collective nouns.
