I have been exploring existentialism
and reality, exploring our perceptions and ideas of what is real, the emotional
response we have to this, and how I can visually represent that. I have been
interested in illusion drawings for many years now, having drawn a variety of
my own. These have been of cracks on walls, or rips in paper, as I like the
illusion of damage when there is actually none at all. The fact that we can see
something like this, and our brain can accept that as something that’s real is
both amazing and slightly disconcerting.
With this drawing, I wanted to try
something different and more complex, so I eventually decided to try my hand at
an anamorphic drawing. This basically means drawing something
distorted/elongated, which only looks correct when viewed at the correct angle.
Everything about this drawing is designed to trick your eyes, from the
distortion, to the striking contrast of the checker pattern, to the selective
and subtle shading.
