Drawing Lessons

2005 | Duration: 6:00

A woman finds a tape cassette at a yard sale. It comes with a drawing exercise, the upside down drawing lesson from, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. The exercise becomes an obsession yet keeps the woman's insomnia at bay. Her night visitors, animals of the night, allow her to reconnect with nature. The voice over by Mark Strand adds to her attachment to the tape. Its humorous quality informs her not to take it too seriously but that is not possible.
