Composition/idea/approach exploration sketch for a project I've been referring to as The Dress Paintings.

Sometimes I'll do a sketch or work through an idea only to realize later that I'm pulling from ideas I've already seen or worked with and forgotten about. This has been happening a lot lately.
Here, a sort of simultaneity/non-linearity of time, explored through a montage of arms and hands, using photographic references but creating composites by hand rather than digitally. The result sparked a memory of a hand montage from over 6 years ago. Recurring imagery for me, apparently.

Also, no doubt influenced by the Jenny Saville show at the Gagosian, where she composited drawing atop drawing, redrawing/correcting portions in addition rather than in substitution.
