Week 3 Reflections: Encountering the Figure

Further research on portraits has led me to explore an image from Kollwitz's in printmaking and, through entropy, have created slightly different copies of her image.  This accidental mark-making has fascinated me and helped drive my current practice.  In the past, I've done blindfolded touch drawings and learned that the act of drawing rather than the drawing itself merits its worth.   Abstraction forces the viewer and the maker to question their preconceptions of what the depicted should look like.Source images can be found here:https://www.moma.org/s/ge/collection_ge/artist/artist_id-3201_role-1_sov_page-23.html
