I was unsure at first what I wanted to do for my drawing collection. It was during a day when Laura had us experimenting with various materials in class that I began to develop an idea- though very vague. I had been very interested in the effects of teas staining and wax coverage on paper, and I knew that I wanted to create some imagery with those two materials.
I did a small bit of research and found some artists that greatly interested me with regards to their mark-making and material use. Josh Gurrie is very interested in minimalist mark-making and color blocking. I liked his use of space and the improvisational aspect of his drawings. Stalla Im Hultberg uses a lot of tea-stained paper in her works, creatign figural illustrations on top that ofter interact with their surface. Alice Fox, like Gurrie, likes to experiment with her materials, though she is a bit less conventional. I liked the way in which she allowed marks that her materials made to be the focal point of her work, rather than those which she had more control over.
