Read about artist #LaurelSparks in our latest blog post. Our Visitor Services staff member Laina Terpstra spoke with Sparks. Here is an excerpt:

How would you describe your relationship to drawing in your practice, as a painter?

Drawing is essential to developing both the visual and conceptual structure of my paintings. Since the pressure on quality and financial investment is minimal, the process allows space for decisions to be impulsive and subconscious. The immediacy of drawing allows me to work out ideas in rough form and get lost in the rhythm of scribbling pigmented lines on a hard yet delicate surface. In comparison, my canvas work involves carefully studied pours and strategic placement of materials and brushwork. Drawings, whether quick sketches or developed images, supply the linear armatures for my paintings. The difference between the two is akin to weaving versus playing chess.
