John Murray classes week of September 29, 2014


Disentangling the relationship between the natural world and the pictorial world:


What does that mean in your work?
All my classes deal with that issue.
Above are some images of the human figure, to me all are interesting and say different things about my perception of the natural world.
When, and especially before you begin to record as an artist, think about  how you feel about the Other... object/perception, and how you can utilize your tools on the the void in front of you to record these in a fresh way.
Of course the tools (pencil, charcoal, paint, mud, blood, dog shit?) must be exploited and allowed to do their part as pure plasticity.
The void is your paper, canvas, plaster panel, animal hide, cardboard, brick wall...?)
The fear is your illusion of self! 
See you next week,  John
