Boats

Extremely pleased with the bone spine from yesterday and have been drawing it today.  I find it satisfying and useful to draw from my own made pieces, it delves into the subject matter even more and brings out new things.  I think I'll  make a stencil from the drawing to use on Tuesday in the glass studio.  Read more about Twombly this morning.  I am fascinated by his fascination with the past and came across his “Nine Discourses on Commodus” (1963)  

Found some little tiny stitched African figures from long ago, think they might work inside the cubes which I think are going to be little reliquary/tabernacles for collections.  Put one into a plasticine mould filled with plaster which by chance turned out looking like a girl standing in a boat.  Perhaps it's Caroline and her rebellious teenage voyage into the unknown.
