sketches from the soul

In Catholic school art class I would always be scolded for drawing. Our teachers assigned projects that were more suited for factories or souvenir shops than art galleries: a lamp, a figure made of seashells, a crochet scrapbook, a bound journal that we were not allowed to draw in. Everything had to be constructed the same way; everything had to look uniform.
