The Ockhams 2017: Featuring (but not well labelled) Michele A’Court, Ashleigh Young, Emma Neale, Catherine Chidgey, Hera Lindsay Bird, Andrew Johnston, Tusiata Avia, Gregory Khan, C.K. Stead, Peter Simpson, Harry Ricketts (labelled as Dr Who), Adam Dudding and some others who I am unsure of.
More drawing heads in the dark. Floating, incomplete heads. Like a bad imitation Star Wars poster, without a lightsaber focal point.
You’d think, considering I saw the most of MC, Michele A’Court, that I would have captured her better. Instead, I became mesmerised by the beautiful comic book certainty her hair had under lights and drew her twice.
The consequence of the nominees reading their work is everybody is looking down and, in the case of some, are more hair than face. The consequence of two minute readings is that my drawings are missing skulls where their heads met the dark and are undressed. Now, if the consequence was them undressing, that would be more interesting.
