About this artwork
In this piece, blue and light orange tree-like forms inhabit the background, while a more intense, animal-like black shape dominates the foreground. The animal—if it is one—projects an air of curiosity as it appears to observe the background in profile. In my gouache drawings, looking becomes a matter of culling out a form—one that inspires physical empathy and curiosity. In my studio practice, I work across drawing, sculpture, and photography, often…
moving fluidly between them. I’m drawn to the quiet power of materials—their weight, fragility, texture, and resistance—and how these qualities shape a viewer’s physical and emotional response. I aim to create encounters that invite a heightened attentiveness—experiences that stir the senses through shifts in scale, rhythm, and form.

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.
