“If I’m not sketching, then I’m not alive. It’s kind of a bloodline.”
In this conversation between artists Chris Christodoulou and Michelle Avison recorded during the COVID-19 2020 lockdown, Chris discusses his obsessive sketching practice and how drawing is fundamental to his life.
“They’re not simple images. They are about everything.”
Artist Chris Christodoulou grapples with the complexities of life in his epic drawing series Odyssey.
Collecting the Looking
“I love drawing really quickly. I love drawing in really difficult situations. I love drawing in the dark. I like what happens when you can’t see everything or when it’s passed and you have to remember it rather than drawing what it actually looks like, so it’s about the experience of looking as much as what I’m looking at.”
We talk to Michelle Avison about building a resilient artistic practice over 30 years.
Artist talk: Michelle Avison
From her inspirations to struggling to find a place to draw, Michelle takes us through a chronological history of her work, and how she learned to embrace the practice of looking in this video presentation.
