Blind scenes

These are a series of Blind drawings of scenes that I have been producing. Im looking to turn the blind drawing process into a longer and more fruitful experience, with more detail, but keeping the gestural and playful quality which I love. I had been thinking about producing some kind of sculpture from the blind drawings but now I am wondering if there is more potential in just pushing the drawings themselves further. I plan to do a kind of panoramic impression of a scene, using fold out people, and perhaps a few different pens which compliment each other tonally and pull attention to different aspects of the scenery, such as focusing on the shadows of the room with a soft grey, moving through the details with a sharp black, etc etc. I have also thought about bringing collage into the work, using a scalpel to remove parts of the image and making windows to other textures. There is also the potential to work with paint, screen printing or glass with these images. None of this necessarily feels very relevant to what I have been researching with prayer and shrines, but I know that I need to be working even if the links aren't immediately visible.
