"Drawn feather" by Conrad Bakker

"Drawn feather"

by Conrad Bakker

I am truly honored by all the drawings artists are making for the "Deposition: Drawn". Long time friend Conrad Bakker wrote the following about the process of making this marvelously enigmatic drawing: "...the drawing was based on a scan that was drawn then scanned, then drawn further, etc. a lot of levels."

(Swipe for a detail.)

 

The exhibition of this project will take place in the Carlson Tower Gallery of North Park University opening on February 14, Valentine's Day 4:30 - 6:30 and running through March 9.

 

This exhibition is an unusual mash-up of my work as curator (primarily as gallery director at NPU) and my work as an artist (particularlly my work that is related to my most frequent subject, my daughter Temma). I sent each of the participating artists a unique prompt which was for me somehow related to Temma. The participating artists then made a drawing related to their prompt. They also developed an accompanying text / title for the drawing. And then they sent that text to me along with a high resolution scan of their drawing.
