 Travels with Myra Hudson (detail), 2004 sumi ink on paper, approx. 10 x 46 feet Dawn Clements Dawn Clements explores a world of interiors, arduously rendering either her own immediate environment in a series of detailed and expressive drawings or capturing the staged sets of films and soap operas by continually replaying and carefully observing them. Her recent drawing, "Travels with Myra Hudson", will span 46 feet in the Lower Gallery. This panoramic ink on paper depicts the many interior spaces that the main character inhabited in the 1952 film, "Sudden Fear". The drawing reads like a series of large film cells or a storyboard with one scene leading to the next. Notations and observations are drawn in the borders, like clues about an implied narrative dropped along the way. Smaller works will focus on the close proximity and familiarity of the artist's home. A drawing of her desktop reflects her continued concentration on the domestic interior and its personal contents. The dynamic quality of Clements' line and the intensity of her vision create drawings that, regardless of the scale, make one wish the picture would continue on.
