Pierced Drawings
2010.04.04
Pierced Drawing No.1
19 x 26″. Pastel and ink on paper. The first in a series of ten drawings of piercings.
Pierced Pear
14 x 20″. Watercolor, aquarelle and colored pencils, pastel. The last of a series of ten drawings with piercings. I don’t know what inspired me to do the first few pierced drawings nor have I thought of anything clever to say about them post production. Toward the end of the series I started poking the stainless steel ball piercing into anything sitting around simply for the absurdity and ended up with the Pierced Pear.
“I just don’t want to die without a few scars, I say. It’s nothing any more to have a beautiful stock body. You see those cars that are completely stock cherry, right out of a dealer’s showroom in 1955, I always think, what a waste.” Tyler Durden (Chuck Palahniuk), Fight Club
