Illustration FridayRepair (Calenture)
Medium: Pencil/graphite/charcoal
The genesis of this drawing is an album called Calenture by one of the greatest Australian bands - The Triffids. Calenture is described in the sleeve notes as:
Since I stumbled the word for the first time I’ve been intrigued by it, and thought it would make a great theme for a drawing as it connotes so many powerful images. It’s taken me awhile to get this out of my head and onto paper, probably very similar to a sailor going slowly mad. Can calenture be repaired, or is it case of jumping into the ocean....inevitably drowning or having the sharks take you. Perhaps that’s the only repair. 26 October 2008 |
