Gummy caves
Last week while disposing of some old gum i became fascinated with the way that it created long stalactite-like strings when it became stretched across space. Since then, I've been exploring ways to draw it in an equally interesting way. My first thoughts were of a small graphite drawing with high contrast that drew you into the space, but for some reason I was not satisfied. Now I'm blowing it up to stretch across 14"x17" Bristol board to give a thicker, gummier feel to it. I think that I'd like to try it on toned paper in white and black charcoal pencil. I like the idea that I'm working with, I just am struggling slightly to get it right.
