SUNDAY SKETCHES
TEXT & PHOTO: CHRISTOPH NIEMANN
(For Thai, press here)
When I work on my Sunday Sketches, it’s never about a sudden inspired spark. I pick a random object, and then I just stare at it. I look at it from different angles, play with the light (usually just by moving my desk lamp). And I try to open my mind as wide as possible to see if a peculiar angle reminds me of a familiar shape.
More often than not, this yields… nothing.
And when it does, I doubt it’s because I have a special gift for making these visual connections. It’s because sometimes I have the stamina to keep on staring when a saner person would do the reasonable thing and get on with their life instead.
