Where Does I and We Begin | James Gilbert

Large-scale drawing on paper depicting intertwined anthropomorphic forms constructed with gouache, watercolor, ink, and colored pencil. Layered washes, line work, and textured mark-making create overlapping figures and shifting spatial relationships.

A large-scale drawing on paper executed in gouache, watercolor, ink, and colored pencil. Multiple anthropomorphic forms overlap and intersect within a layered composition built through translucent washes, graphic line, and areas of concentrated texture. Variations in opacity and mark density create shifting relationships between figure and ground while preserving the physical evidence of the drawing process. The composition develops through the accumulation of materials rather than a single continuous image.
