Jesse Christopher
I use drawing to construct the figure by its contour.   Line allows me to insinuate form without rendering it through shading, allowing viewers to interpret the space of the figure for themselves.   Drawing from memory of sight and touch allows my work to communicate the psychological connection between artist and subject.  My forms become confused of their sex and physical competency. Finding commonality of form and structuring the body without regard to its anatomical correctness, allows the figure to project its state of mind through the mangled abstraction of its parts.
