About the Item
This sketch of Angela, a 4 year old female, stuck with me. I identified with her worry and anxiety. These cousins of ours teetering on the edge of the primordial forrest. Naked to the coming climate change, undefended from our mess. I have used this painting algorithm before: A charcoal sketch on a field of color, often yellow. I hope that this image discusses all that I was thinking about while looking at this beautiful creature. The canvas is a pink striped material, one can make out the texture of the stripes, like bars perhaps on this captive animal. The sketch worried and meek, off center to allow for all that is unsaid about her life. I included some examples of the sketches I did for this, see if you can tell which are done in situ at the zoo and at home from the supporting photos. For years now I have been supporting LA zoo and their Beastly Ball, an annual fundraising gala and silent auction. This year I focussed on their mountain Gorillas. I wanted to know them like one does a portrait subject. They keep them in two family groups, the women and children in one pen, with an older male and some youngsters. I drew them, little black blobs in the enclosure. Hard to see for the clouds of school children and mums with strollers wafting through. A light mist curling the edges of the drawing pad, perched on my arm, peering over a chaperone, I could hardly see. “Did you just do that?â€
