Desire Paths - Life Drawing Prints

Illustrations from DESIRE PATHS pres. by PERMANENT ATTRACTION & XFLOS & GAMA

A beautiful evening with friends, drawing for hours and listening to an ambient soundscape while in awe of a beautiful botanical installation by XFLOS.

There is something so special about a life drawing class. An unspoken agreement to collectively hold respect for a naked person in the middle of the room.

To let go of the stifling cultural expectations that parts of our bodies should be hidden in public to maintain decency.

It was a place to sit among others, comforted by their presence

A moment to take in the beauty of nature, the pleasure of drawing for the sake of creating

"A night of life drawing and more…

Where fruits of the labour turn into the fruiting body, life becomes art when art was always life. The garden of eden is waiting, where your muse is both flowering and breathing, the body knows no bounds, the body is only temporary, blink and you will miss it, put pen to paper and remember it. Desire Paths is an encounter with art that breathes, sings, smells, tastes, yawns, stretches, laughs and enchants"

 DESIRE PATHS was organised to raise money for What Were You Wearing? an Indigenous, youth-led charity fighting to end sexual violence in Australia.
