| I am trying not to be discouraged by my less than inspiring drawing skills the purpose of the exercise is the tedium of a repetitive task so some weeks will show more attention than others not that I specifically want perfection but some sort of essence would be gratifying |

your layers are like those layered images of the body in an old encyclopedia, with a separate layer for the bones, for the organs, the vascular system, the musculature, etc...
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo, I like the layers too. On the one hand they distract me from the task of the repetitive drawing exercise, the tedium , and the ebb and flow of the task I have set myself. On the other hand they allow me to look deeper into the rope, to look at the elements and what they mean, what they suggest. The bones, the musculature, the vascular system - all hidden, but essential parts of the whole.
