Jody Collaboration © 1978 Tom
Ferguson 26 x 24"" My brother's daughter, now a woman
living in L.A. sent me this drawing in a letter, or her Dad included it
- in any event I got it. It could go in the Collaboration section but
it was done more around the time of the minimal works. It precedes by
at least 10 years the rubbing/ patina stuff I did later. It is quite
unusal for an eight year old to do an abstraction but that is what it
is (I think). It now resides with her in the Big Easy. She sent
me pics, one of which is dark and shows the incised lines and
impasto more so I include them below. The difference between this first
one and the well-lit one at bottom is minimal but does show another
aspect.
