Susan Striepe—Everything Book


I hated doing the donut. Its smell was overpoweringly unhealthy. It was like an O-Siren calling me to Sugarland and a downward spiral of me wanting more. I resisted. I had to do 25 drawings of this infernal donut. It took me the whole day and by the end of the day it was falling apart, just like myself. As I fell apart, so did my drawing and miraculously that is what makes a drawing come to life.








I really enjoyed going out under the trees on the beautiful UF campus and doing the quick drawings. It heightened my perception of the form, structure, value, and depth that surround one in everyday life.




Discovering powdered graphite…Thank you Lauren! Graphite is on top of my list of favored mediums and now new possibilities have opened. I can't wait to explore this further.
