Joy Drury Cox : Pockets
Joy Drury Cox
Pockets
April 2015
My work often deals with shapes and spaces that are both ubiquitous and often overlooked. After completing a large project last year, I am at another beginning place with my artwork. For this, my first exhibition in North Carolina, I am working from intuition. I began by gathering several pairs of blue jeans and cutting the pockets out of them. After various tests and experiments, what has resulted so far is a series of drawings, which aesthetically reference maps, Rorschach tests and textiles. I’m interested in the place where drawings can be “of something” but are open enough to be read as many things.
