See me, feel me

Analytic cubism sought to explode a given object's form by simultaneously viewing it from different points. I think that although this abstraction results in an image that is more about the shapes, movements, and lines than the actual subject matter being referenced, it ironically presents a truer, more honest representation than any one limited view could provide.

In drawing, and in life, truth is hard to find in the balance between the ignorance of one opinion and the cacophony of disagreement. Too many points of view makes things more confusing, but often constructively, and even necessarily so.


Today I drew some speakers with this in mind. The product is essentially nonobjective. With a little context, though, and close examination, a viewer can see much more about these objects than they would be able to if I'd only drawn the back of them, for instance. Besides, I think the variety of textures this rendering provides gives the whole composition a complex, soothing harmony.
