An Unexpected View

LND_0A434123-DE2C-4EAD-9E36-E2A725321AC5

The city center of Cambridge is usually busy with tourists and shoppers during weekends, so if I have to shop, I usually scramble to get out of the center as soon as possible. But this time I decided to take my time and check out a cafe my friend recommended. The inside was full and steamy, so I had to take a seat outside, and funny enough, only then I noticed the view ofย The Round Church, the 800-year-old church that Iย have long wanted to visit.

The air was hazy and cool, and as I drew, someone knocked on the cafe window behind me. An elderly couple smiled and raised their thumbs. It was a sweet unexpected excursion in the middle of the busy city.

Reading: Thaw Out Your Lonely Heart

thaw-out-your-lonely-heart-24-x-18-1-194.jpg

There’s something puzzling about this painting (by Claudia) with otherwise ordinary-looking composition. There’s a moon and a pond, in which there’s a reflection of… Wait. It can’t be the moon! The direction is wrong, and it’s too warm.

So the moon should have been a source of warmth, but it’s turned cold, rimmed with ailing green. That seems why the trees are wavering and in need of thawing. They are standing together but they are lonelyโ€”their common ground is painted cold. But warmth is coming from outside the view. It’s so overwhelming it drenches the whole meadow and the sky. Lots of stories in the rich palette.

A public space can be quietly inspiring when it has seats enough to be half empty. If I were an urban architect, I would add seats just so that they can be empty most of the times. Just like desks need more wood than fits a book and beds more than fits a body.

Drawing โ€œTranquilโ€ / ‘๊ณ ์š”ํ•œ’ ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ

Tranquil is drawn after a tree in Coe Fen. On fine afternoons, the tree stands with a glow of sunshine on its back. In the photo, you can see it is growing new twigs, that almost look like saplings, from its limb lying on the left. Surrounded with lush vegetation, it looks as though it symbolizes resilience.

In the drawing, I omitted all leaves and abstracted out the background, to focus on the form of the tree’s body. While I followed what was compelled by visual composition, I wonder how that changed the substance. To me, compared to the real-life model, the tree’s situation seems more desolateโ€”as some of you suggestedโ€”, as if the whole tree and its surroundings are burned down. Its ultimate victory, which in fact happened, is suggested only in spirit. I wonder how you feel.

I want to try another version of the tree. My challenge is to keep the spirit of hope (and perhaps the leaves) without ruining the composition. I may modify the form, but I’d like to keep the original tree’s intuitive appeal and subtlety. That’s a lot to wish for, so I would appreciate any recommendation for works to model after.

A Forgetful Neuron & Ariadne’s Thread / ๊นœ๋ฐ•ํ•˜๋Š” ์‹ ๊ฒฝ ์„ธํฌ์™€ ์•„๋ฆฌ์•„๋“œ๋„ค์˜ ์‹คํƒ€๋ž˜

I need an aid to catch little lessons from drawing before they slip into oblivion. I feel like one of those tiny neurons, the cells that comprise the brain. Any one of them would get excited with an electrical pulse, but then would dissipate the charge and lose clue of what just happened, in just about a tenth of a second. A neuron is too short-sighted for the giant world its host lives in, where food or a mate is often not obtained with a subsecond deliberation.

I, its host, am no better though. I would be drawing one day and would be exuberant about finding a gem of an idea, but when I come back in a week or so, I would have lost the stone or its shine. Progress is often not found in my foggy horizon.

To have any hope, I will have to employ some tactics, perhaps borrowing from the neurons. A neuron fights its forgetfulness in at least two ways. It tells others what it just heard, like in a telephone game but with a more serious ambition, so that someone down the line would remember the message and remind it back when it has long forgotten what it said. It also gradually revises its phone book of synapses, the connection to other neurons, depending on who answers the call and what happens afterwards. So after enough revisions the neuron calls those neurons that answered its call or got its host goodies. The neuron thus patches its amnesia with the aid of its group and its phone book.

I may use such aids, social and material. I would discuss ideas with friends, so over time they may remind me where I was and re-excite me. They would even add their ideas on top. Attending a meet-up was a critical source of help for me to resume drawing after years of pause.

On the material side, I might look back on the trace I left to remember where I meant to go from there. I started posting works to leave the trace, but the far end of the trace gets out of sight soon. Hence a little retrospect, sorted by themes below – Ariadne’s thread I left in the labyrinth of growth.

Every Halloween, people wear as scary creatures, presumably laughing away the fear that way. So I made several drawings where different creatures wear as what scares them.

This one is for beans. The mask is inspired by a Cameroon mask of a cow.
