notes on Eternal Draft:
Nine drawings, completed by Tedd Anderson in 2006 while pursuing a BFA in Painting, sat in portfolios for over a decade. Time proceeded to rob relevance from these works. While becoming mementos, these drawings plagued Tedd. They were drawn on luscious, 300lb watercolor paper - a resource that could not simply be recycled. The drawings were simultaneously unshowable and precious in their natural resources. In a desperate measure, Tedd quartered each composition and began reworking them. These shattered compositions became Eternal Draft. In these works, Tedd enters a timewarp where he collaborates with his 21 year old self; a task that makes evident how we can become strangers to ourselves over time.
An example of the process:
The original drawing from 2006, above, was quartered and reworked to create the four drawings to the right.
