In thinking about large format drawings I remembered Anselm Kiefer. His work centres upon using natural media at large scale and at times drawings falls off the wall into sculpture. His use of straw, ash, clay, lead, and shellac.
I’m jealous of how prolific some artists are, Keifer especially. Yet I feel at times my work moves too slowly along a concepts and motifs. But then this is me thinking too much - when I’ve learned that its better just to make as quickly as possible. Then think about it..
I am mindful of space and how to best occupy it with drawing and with sculpture, especially for the upcoming show. How do I best conclude what I have been doing and leave space for it to continue after?
It’s this scale thing again, I love drawing and somehow this feels like a rightful progression, to go bigger and offer some of the work more gravitas seemingly. I need to draw more - I wonder if I need to make more preparatory drawings or just have at it.
I’ looking at spaces differently - imagining drawing in it, what it might look like to fill it.

Currently listening to the sound track of people working with wood in the forest. It’s somehow pleasing and calming for me…weird.
