Mindy's Drawing from 3/7/08

transition, 10" x 10", graphite and ink on paper

Another look at the window motif - here the subject is the window itself, and the pattern of ice that formed on it during a snowstorm. Looking through the glass and ice on an early morning, I again see this color that I am inextricably attracted to lately - a muted blue/green. I also incorporated the grid, an element that was present in Carianne's drawings in December. Here, I used the grid as a methodical approach to the drawing, filling each square one by one with an ink wash, and letting the edges of the wash dry to form a boundary between the squares. The title refers to the transition between the color and white, as well as the transition between winter and spring, morning and daylight, and the transition of moving that I am beginning to embark on in my life.
