Find strength in finding people who dance through the lanes of this world, eyes wide open, caring and engaged. To open up your sketch book, can be to expose the underbelly of ourselves.

I think sometimes it is easy to forget that artists have a process - that not every drawing is right the first time. <br />These pictures are like a little collection of your thoughts: instead of your posts of eloquent words and beautiful but simple photographs these are eloquent drawings that don't need accompaniment.Aoife.Troxelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557613486797904602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-60943837266868773312013-07-30T22:53:22.054+01:002013-07-30T22:53:22.054+01:00I love your sketchbooks and even the 'scribble...I love your sketchbooks and even the 'scribbles' are good.

Each page is an intense glimse into your interior world; a flash of intuition rather than a considered fact. I have the impression of an initiate led blindfold to an assignation, granted a single second of sight in which to absorb the vision and then released into a separate room with her sketchbook and pen! If I close my eyes and remember these sketches the ones that jump most readily to mind for me are the accordian player, the hag with the teeth, the horned god apparatus, the horse, a torrent of faces on one page, the girl with the body of a bird or fish, the couple lying awake and listening (was that an idea for The Bear Outside?), the bear curled round the house; the list goes on and on because everything you have shown us has strength and uniqueness. <br /><br />I remember we once had a conversation about finding people's faces through drawing, that when we jump into the unknown in order to make their acquaintance they come to meet us at the halfway point. I think drawing an image in quick isolation like this and allowing it to stand on it's own without reworking creates a powerful link to that other world; it recalls a dream whose wisdom isn't compromised by the corrupting process of waking up. I'm so glad you allowed us this secret sketchbook viewing xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358941909845054941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-67788916046209323052013-07-30T17:39:43.332+01:002013-07-30T17:39:43.332+01:00It was such a joy to see your wonderful sketches! ...It was such a joy to see your wonderful sketches!

It is as you said, very intimate and personal. The pure energy that glows out of your sketches is just very very beautiful and haunting. <br /><br />This is perhaps the most difficult blog comment that I have ever written because it expresses so little of what I feel after looking through your post. I am touched that you have shown us this glimpse into your sketchbooks at my request.

What a beautiful window into the footpaths and overgrown traintracks of your imagination. Your people and faces are so moving and their eyes haunt me and I'm sure everyone else too who sees them, like we know them as well, from the wild dark magic places between abandoned buildings, hedges, woods, in our hearts.

I've always found this quite strange but fascinating.<br />I'm also not an organised sketchbook keeper and leave books unfinished, then start new ones or sketch on A4 cheap printing paper etc (cringe) I have sometimes felt not a 'proper artist' because of this.
