Drawing, more precisely delineating, has always been a method of articulating the artistic process and can be like cleansing the pallet after and before the need for three dimensions kicks back in. They are two sides of the same coin, the Corsican Brothers, Janus, and Jekyll and Hyde.
The use of found and mundane materials is the connection and the reconciliation with everyone and everything else. Jeanne Randolph wrote: “Ornamental as any of the above facts may be, the importance of the tin can lid is its beauty. The circular tin can lid is a primal harmonious shape, an irresistible and eternal symbol, and the world of objects in the shape of beautiful circles is too abundant to list. Kandinsky, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Zen Buddhists, God (According to Isaiah, “He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep.” and Carl Jung took the circle so seriously they probably didn’t even notice the lids of tin cans. They probably overlooked how lowly tin can circles are silly yet thrilling.)”
