Fan drawing
I like to look for objects that have a variety of
forms and qualities within them, I like to draw objects
that are not championed by my culture; so much resources,
time and money goes into creating, purchasing, maintaining
and running objects yet they are often seen as temporary
and disposable.
I expect that more energy goes into the the life
span of a modern electric saw than into an old wooden-handled
saw, the true can be said of the electric fan; drawing
these often overlooked objects gets a further use
out of them. Many of these functional objects are
being designed with aesthetic considerations in mind,
I find that this often has the effect of making them
more difficult to draw, less interesting, less able
to grab my attention. I do not think this fan is too
designed, its function still outweighs its need for
functionality, this ensure a degree of visual interest
associated with its functional parts, I believe being
able to visually describe an objects functionality
in a visual way helps describe its personality.
