Artist's Comments

3 x 4 foot drawing done in pastel. I pulled an all-nighter the day before my birthday to finish half of this, then completed the rest over the course of the next week.

It was a miserable morning walking back home from the art school at 7 o' clock; the temperature was 8 below zero Fahrenheit.

"It's about the cold. It's about the time when I couldn't shake myself free of it, no matter the warmth by or in by or in which I placed myself. Every molecule was that of ice to me, and though I enveloped myself in layers of wool blankets I could not escape it. I was like the inner organs of a sheep, like haggis yet unbutchered, but the feeling of being spilled over the wintry rocks did not depart from me. And finally I could only accept that though thickly enshrouded warm blood did not pulsate throughout me, and while the layers may have shielded me against the cold of the air I could not expunge that which filled me within. And I did not wish to be exposed, butchered, and cooked, for I deemed such too high a price for warmth, when ultimately cooked meat must be eaten, and once more would I be enshrouded as I was, like haggis yet undigested."
