Sara: Post IV

I have a carelessly designed apartment, one example of this is the fact that I have no closet in my room. The bar that I hang my clothes/towels on is directly over my bed and when I wake up in the morning, the towels are the first things I see. I think the abstract shapes they create are interesting... I wasn't sure if the sweatshirt hanging behind the towels would ruin the abstraction of the drawing, so I just sketched it in lightly.

Catherine Murphy is an artist who makes photo-realistic drawings and paintings and never uses a single photographic reference. She is obsessive with detail to the point where she will often wait days, months, or a year for the correct lighting situation in which to continue a painting in. I enjoy the seemingly random and common subjects she chooses to depict as well as the "alloverness" of her compositions.
