Rendering Motion

Jennifer Pastor uses drawing to break down various systems -- in this case, the circulation of a rider on a bucking bull. (pencil on paper, 13 1/2" X 17", 1999-2000)

John Ruskin on drawing clouds:

"Now clouds are not as solid as flour-sacks; but, on the other hand, they are neither spongy nor flat. They are definite and very beautiful forms of sculptured mist; sculptured is a perfectly accurate word; they are not more drifted into form than they are carved into form, the warm air around them cutting them into shape by absorbing the visible vapour beyond certain limits; hence their angular and fantastic outlines, as different from a swollen, spherical, or globular formation, on the one hand, as from that of flat films or shapeless mists on the other." The Elements of Drawing, 1857
