Medium
Drawing - Drawing Card Poster
Description
I drew this on a very large piece of orange cardboard as part of some work required for a drawing class I attended for a short while in a TAFE college in Sydney. I loved the process of doing this, as it felt to me like some kind of spiritual meditation in how I formed the shadows and lines. Working with charcoal was new to me, so this was also a bit of an adventure for me so I really loved the outcome! The vessel in this picture reminds me of the Jungian analogy of the feminine being the vessel or container of life and the powerful religious symbolism that this embodies.

Thanks Mikhail for your comment and vf! It's one of my old time favs too, especially since the original was done on an A3 size orange cardboard and looks pretty stunning at that size!
