ABSTRACT

During the following months she continued to produce many drawings, a few of which I have selected: for instance, on 22 September she brings a pen-and-ink drawing (Fig. 85) of a naked woman wearing a kind of winged head-dress, and, though the head is still wrapped round with a kind of veil or cowl, this now seems to extend down her neck towards the right arm, and with numbers 1 to 24 which suggest to me both a sense of something flowing and the idea of daily time. It makes me think of the flow of energy that must in fact be going into her hand when she produces those drawings that are integrated wholes, in contrast to the withdrawal of energy from her hands which she described as her first response of disgust at the feel of the clay in the clay-bin at N.I.
