A Gallery of Blind Drawings Alison Touster-Reed

What are "blind" drawings? Within, you will find drawings ranging in tenor from humorous to poignant, all completed using the same "blind" technique. On sculpture, Alison Touster-Reed has said, "When I sculpt, often the clay itself tells me what to do. It speaks, in other words, like a human with emotions, reveals what shapes and textures it wants to become." A Gallery of Blind Drawings is a collection of drawings that made themselves known to their creator and not the other way around. This book is intended, in part, to be a jumping off point for your own exploration of "blind" drawing. While it is not a guide, per se, it can be used as inspiration. What drawings might be waiting to introduce themselves to you?
