Sally Firino

Drawing is the way I record my life, my surroundings and moments in my life. I observe closely and drawing is a moment I have for me, studying , watching and while I do so, my hand moves leaving marks, traces and tracks of my life, in turn creating a scaffold for others to imagine, remember and project their own moment onto the image. Both with my teaching and my drawings I am aiming to create a spark of inspiration, of imagination.

The line is always in motion. It is never-ending; there is no closure of completion. The moment doesn’t end either; a memory is captured and given permission to last, on paper forever. The line is never erased, what is seen is a direct, unbroken relationship to my physical environment, mistakes can be seen, not hidden. The line is not a perfect depiction yet captures an essence.

I strive for simplicity, purity and flow, a line with strength and power and confidence.
