cardboard cutouts

i made this self portrait in too short an amount of time as a final for drawing 3. there are some definite juicy spots in it that i dig but in other areas of the drawing i wish it was more sensitively rendered. also, i had some difficulties with the materials i was using in this peice which is likely evident to the audience as well on some level.

this here drawing deals with the self/community dynamic. from strangers to life long friends, the people we interact with in our lives often confront us with a degree of disconnect which can be off putting, even jarring. i dont consider myself to be greatly isolated from others but in those instances where we just cant make the connection with the rest of the universe a statement is being made; it imprints itself on us psychologically posing the question of origin, and possibily prompting resolution if it is that we can skrew our heads back on straight. the bottom third of the drawing is a powerdered graphite/wax mixture just so you know.
