Encouraging a Lover in Every Possible Way

 

 

 

 

 

The text in this work is a poem by Carla Nappi from Uninvited: Talking Back to Plato, by Carrie Jenkins and Carla Nappi. Montreal: McGill-Queens University Press. 2020. These drawings are my contribution to The Uninvited Project, a collection of artworks curated by the authors, Carrie Jenkins and Carla Nappi, made in response to the book. Visit the Uninvited Project site for more information and great work by a variety of other artists. https://www.uninvitedproject.com/.

More of these things: drawing motivated by scene descriptions in early modern plays. These come from The Betrothal, by Maurice Maeterlinck: something about a curtain, a door with a "formidable lock," and caverns leading to a miser's den. These pages are part of a work in progress. Will I ever include text from these plays? I'm not sure about that yet.
