Sherana Harriette Frances... drawings part 2 ... 1976



The LSD drawings of Sherana Harriette Frances

a  scan from a favourite book of mine

Drawing it out ~ Befriending the Unconscious ~

the book originated as a wordless visual dialogue between her conscious and unconscious mind, catalyzed by her experience with LSD at the international Institute for Advanced Study.

Can make a heaven of hell,

"We are all imprisoned by the dictionary. We choose out of that vast, 
paper-walled prison our convicts, the little black printed words, 
when in truth we need fresh sounds to utter, 
new enfranchised noises which would produce a new effect."
 — Mervyn Peake (Titus Groan)

Unica Zürn... drawing...




Photobucket




she opens out, forming a shining star 
made of countless new arms and legs 
and necks and heads, 
she becomes a beautiful, flower-like monstrosity....

Francis Picabia ... Untitled drawing & poem





Photobucket


Gstaad

The sea pitches endlessly
The role mirrors her pupils
From memory
So mirthful
Swaying of gravity
Expresses a resonance
Of constant desires
I have excuses
And lack strength and courage
influence is a useless thing
She is the most beautiful of the women
On my mind
