About this artwork
In Arbiter, a female figure with other abstract elements sits, turned out toward the viewer. Her presence is open and quiet, and not completely inviting of the viewer to look back at her. Overall, the piece brings together a sense of tranquility, human curiosity about the experience of the figure. Tomorrow’s Cracker depicts a form hovering between creature and machine. Deep red and solid black anchor the composition, joined by passages of light blue…
and creamy white. A small knob descends from the upper section, hinting that the black shape might be a kind of head covering. Pale, oval forms suggest insect wings mid-flutter, lending the drawing a sense of imminent lift-off. The piece balances playfulness and buoyancy with a quiet, unresolved curiosity about this rotund red presence.
Arbiter was sold at an auction (AMFAR) hosted by the collector Howard Rachofsky. The piece was created on very high-quality, heavyweight Italian print-making paper.

Jody Drafta, a visual artist and sculptor, expresses her creativity through gouache and graphite on paper, having first found her artistic voice through making sculptural models. She intertwines figuration and abstraction, manifesting as aqueous forms drowned in white or standing in stark contrast to each other, presenting an exploration of the relationship between body and space. Injected with visceral emotion and inspiring physical curiosity, Drafta’s works provoke inquiry into our physical and psychic presence, subtly interrogating the way we are separate from and crucially enmeshed with the world around us.
