Galaxy Clutch brings together deep purple, blue, and cypress green in what feels like open space above the Earth. A purple, figure-like form and graphite marks suggest motion and quiet urgency. The composition’s solitude recalls the atmospheric intensity of Odilon Redon. My drawings, often rooted in gouache, explore aqueous forms—standing alone, pressing against one another, or drowned in white. These shapes suggest figuration without depicting it,… using the body as a rudder to guide abstraction. I aim to sensitize and expand the passage between vision and touch, creating images that invite the viewer to move through space with both physical empathy and perceptual curiosity. The final form matters as much as the perceptual path it traces in the viewer’s mind—one that ideally opens a more direct relationship with the self.
Galaxy Clutch was created on heavyweight Italian printmaking paper and is signed and dated on the reverse.
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.
