Image description

‘The Eraserhead drawings form an ongoing series I've been working on since around 1994-5. I use mostly images from the New York Times and an eraser, rubbing parts out and drawing back on to them. I learned to draw backwards. Erasing teaches you how shadow actually functions in an image: when you take it away you actually see what it does to an image. It's a very intuitive process.' C. Holstad
