In life drawing classes everyone normally uses paper and a pencil, studying the subject intensely. But I bring different pieces of textiles and choose one depending on the set up and the sitter. There is never one way I go about my drawing on textiles. Back in 1996 in life drawing classes at the Kaunas Art College I was taught by two amazing old lecturers, artists (bless them). And I enjoyed learning the techniques of the precision using a line to indicate the shape or contrast on paper, focusing on the correct proportion and especially the likeness. But in the last few years through drawing on textiles I have found another way to communicate what matters to me in any particular life drawing set up. I respond to the drama of the subject matter provided as well as I respond to the textiles. The textures and thickness of textiles, the brush and the ink is always a unique, momentary, spontaneous, intuitive performance of its own. It is scary to make a mark at first, there is no way to rub it out, but that is the magic of going ahead and join mark with a mark, objects, things, events, people and see how they come together. I enjoy staring at my drawings for hours wondering what happened there, I hope you enjoy that, too.
