I like smoky, smudgy drawings in which the process is evident and inseparable from the image/result. I took this image a bit out of focus intentionally to emphasize that quality. Makes you want to squint to try to resolve it.
And there’s that exciting aspect of mystery: what is this, anyway? I didn’t photograph the label, so I don’t know! Perhaps a garland of garlic cloves? The sense of the hand, the charcoal’s (?) texture and soft blackness, the interconnectedness of the forms: they are so immediate and compelling. Drawing at the visceral level is powerful!
