Spirituals
I listened to the three spirituals last night to find inspiration for my next drawing, and the one that affected me most was Mississippi John Hurt's "Since I Laid My Burden Down." I had to listen to it a few times because I liked it so much, and I made my roommates listen to it too. It gave me some mixed emotions but really made me think about death, which led me to draw this, which is supposed to be a dead version of me.
I like that it looks kind of peaceful, as the song made me feel peaceful yet unsettled at the same time. I might add more to this piece in due time...

good work. alive in death, maybe... keep it up.
ReplyDeleteand the schiele is fine (the extraneous posts) but you're smart, taylor, and I bet they have more connection to what we're doing than you realize.
good if together with posts of your work, and more about you're understanding of where the songs come from. you need to look into this in more depth, using the sources I've suggested.
