Justin Taylor Artist Statement
I draw sometimes to
forget and sometimes to remember. Drawing
is of great importance to me. I am fascinated with the aspects of drawing,
marks which are able to express my feelings for form, space, light and
movement. I also consider drawing to be a personal, searching process, and a
tool for developing my observation and memory. Drawing intricate lines with
multiple curves is much relaxing to me and drawing with soft and hard lines to
make shades and different line qualities. My approach to animation relies
greatly on drawing. I think it is unique how art is made from simple lines and
shades. My print work evolves slowly. It allows me to see what is happening
gradually. I use an ebony pencil on either newsprint or nice bond paper. I like
to draw lightly to form structure. I use dark lines to give the drawing some
different line quality and some value as well. After each drawing I stand back
and ask what can I improve on? I always feel my skills need improvement no
matter how great I get.
