Artist's Comments
Just finished this piece today. This is another drawing of my own, most cherished character I've had for the past eight years. It's exclusively charcoal and ink on 19 x 24 Bristol paper. No references of any kind.
The piece of writing below is from his journal, and explains the drawing. 23 - December - 1794 "I took another walk tonight. Mid-December, and yet it wasn’t cold enough to snow. It was raining, and raining so hard I stood beneath a tree in the graveyard for close to two hours. I barely moved. Rigid, saturated to my bones, and unfeeling of the cold, I must have looked like a statue. An ugly, filthy, statue that marked the death of the tree I stood under. I literally felt like a tombstone, and I write this not to tell you of some epiphany or noteworthy thought that passed through my conscience, I write this simply to tell you how empty I felt. I envied the dead. I wanted to belong there, I wanted to lie in the ground and feel no more. My hands are still wet as I drag my pen across this parchment. In a few places the ink has even smeared, leaving my words illegible, but it doesn’t much matter. I only write to you… You. Not knowing who you are. My words are the same as my existence itself. Everything of me: my essence, my being, my thoughts… drifts into an empty space, immediately shifting to vapor and vanishing on the wind. And I say this not out of self-pity. I state it as fact. I want you to understand me, and to understand me you need to know that I am truly purposeless. Meaningless. Hopeless. An utter mistake, that with each breath becomes less of a person, and more of a ghost who just hasn‘t died yet…" |
