Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

To celebrate International Women's Day, I’ve created three pencil drawings of Nicola Adilman, captured mid-dance in beautiful and dynamic poses. These drawings were inspired by As of Right Now, a performance choreographed by Nicola (@nicolaadilman), where movement, visual art, and storytelling intersect. While I typically work in paint, I chose to use pencil for these pieces, echoing my use of charcoal in the live performance. I appreciate the impermanence of charcoal in the performance, and pencil allowed me to capture a similar transient, delicate energy in these still moments of Nicola’s dance.

In As of Right Now, I’m drawing Nicola, alongside Ushara Dilrukshan (ushara_x), live while she dances. The photographs that inspired these drawings were taken by Michelle Rose (@romifolder), whose exceptional eye and artistry have profoundly influenced these drawings. Romifolder's photography beautifully captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, allowing me to explore the delicate balance of vulnerability and strength in Nicola's movements.
