The publication delves into Lavinia Lanner’s world of drawing. It traces the artist’s path from early years until now. Texts and interviews with the artist give a vast insight into the essence of her abstract imagery in 3B pencil on paper, more and more expanding into space. The journey leads through depictions of found objects, organic structures, forgotten relicts of everyday life shown in a drawn close-up, resurrected in the new environment and context with main interest in the ambiguity of shapes and their respective overlappings and boundaries. ONLY DRAW WHEN YOU ARE TIRED is meant to be a process-oriented guide through Lanner’s studio life, an invitation to reflect on the very basic means of drawing as well as an unsaid instruction on how to turn everyday life into a set of pencil lines.weiterlesen
