Graphic Analogies I

you complete me, ink on paper, 2007

Graphic Analogies I is a series of drawings that explore possible interpretations provoked by the interplay of common relationships between everyday objects, stripped of their "quality" as "things" , decontextualized and represented graphically, and popular collocations and phrases. Forced into an analogy, the sock and the clothespin adquire characteristics and connotations not pertaining to their material essence,that which makes them things, nor to the lines used to portray them, that which makes them representation of things, a new thing within itself. Drawn and composed in a way that suggests a metaphoric imitation of the phrase "you complete me", where one object (you/clothespin/sock) completes another (me/clothespin/sock).

london, ink & highlighter,2007

Just some random selections out of my latest theme-less sketchbook. Most of these I drew while on vacations in London a couple weeks ago. The two self-portraits are variations on a project I developed for my thesis last year "DM001" (Dibujos Malditos, loosely translates as Damned Drawings).
I apologize for the poor quality of the color images, I still don't have the whole "safe for web colors" thing down yet.
