Plot
In a video piece called Jackie that I did a few years ago there is footage of these young boys drawing The main child Jackie is not cooperating and refuses to drawhes the example of a child that needs help The other kids in the background are really strenuously drawing and making their marks so loudly that you can almost hear them as part of the soundtrack I added in found drawings as well as made my own drawings of different types of sketches you would expect these children to makeof their fathers their homes or their housesidyllic scenes essentially that lean toward how to draw as therapy and the positive images that should be created at the end I looked for a lot of drawings online and finding other peoples drawings of heads inspired me Of course using my own library work and aesthetic it seemed to make sense as an unexpected return to the hallmarks of my earlier work
