 <\/p>\n

Drawing blindfolded, I immediately knew that I had a string of pearls. So I started with a zoomed in drawing of the clasp, trying to understand the details of the mechanism. Then I tried to draw the pearls resting in the palm of my hand. I tried to draw the motion of thumbing the pearls through my hand like a rosary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then i tried to draw the sensation of the pearls at my palm as one might draw the dark values of an object in order to define its form.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I went to draw the pearls sited after the touch experiment, I thought to draw the dark values, rather than the perimeter of the pearls.<\/p>\n

I tried to capture the form and the transition between the two surfaces: glazed and unglazed. I attempted a section, and tried to understand the geometry of the embossed writing, which said “MEXICO” in block letters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second ojbect was a pinapple, which i tried to draw from above and below as well as in elevation. Again, i tried to use the sense of touch\u00a0 of my left hand to define the form of the object.<\/p>\n

\"\" This was an attempt at drawing an object by touch while having a sighted paper. Seemed less about the form of the object, and it became all of a sudden an exercise, once again, about line.<\/p>\n
