Sketchbook Daily Drawing Ritual - Spring 2023
These sketchbook pages are a ritual honoring my artistic self. Unplanned, beforehand they are just me and a black pen. No eraser and no contrived composition. Each page is just a poetic tangle of free-flowing creativity. Certain botanical specimens make their appearance for the first time on these pages. This is their trying grounds. As I add new flora and fauna to my drawing vocabulary I try to recall their forms from memory. They’re never exacting anatomical representations, but the spirits of the things.
Every time I sit down to add more flourishes during these morning mediations, I reaffirm that I am creative. I don’t need to look elsewhere for inspiration, it’s already in me.
