Nudes: A Search for the Invisible

The invisible reality-deeper than skin-galactic in nature-is the mysterious urge that draws me to draw. Every body is beautiful. We're like a nebula, a large group of associated stars in an eternal process of creation. Each is beautiful in its own way. Each is a work of art. Each is alive inside of the mystery. It's the mystery of the human figure, body, mind, and spirit, that calls to me. We are Mother Nature's gifts-her greatest creations. What could be a more compelling subject? The five senses are the keys that open the door to the inner and outer world. The sixth sense, intuition, brings me in touch with the nothingness that is everything. To slip into greater awareness I must liberate myself from my own ego. It's then that I have insight, I see through my heart, I access the inner essence-my true nature. Seeing through my heart-drawing from the inside out-lines spring up from the deepest realms of sub-conscious. They are threads that signify life, energy, tension, force, action, impulse, urge, direction, and more. They touch commonality. They connect to the model. Love is the impelling force, the universal drive, that prods me to wake up to the invisible reality. Love is relentless, all-inclusive, and unconditional. The end drawing is an expression of two souls converging-if my ego doesn't crowd in.
