Drawing Gorgone at a photoshoot of Japanese rope bondage

I'm in Jay Graham's photographic studio, a converted church in Camden. Nina Russ and Bruce Esinem are tying.

Gorgone is the strong, supple model. She can curve her spine like a U-bend. She is so slender that she appears to have nowhere to store her internal organs. Naked, she is invulnerable, and turns up the blaze in front of the camera. Her skin is an even gold.

Down on the floor, my core tools include bamboo brush-pens, bedraggled quills and a white gel pen. A grown-up Rotring drawing pen is auditioning to join the team. Felt-tips are my dirty little secret.

I protect the floorboards with the Financial Times which I like for its soft colour and absorbency. I draw on cream cartridge, Canson Mi-Teintes and a Galaxy wrapper.

More pictures if you scroll down.

  1. ik vind dit mooi werk deze tekeningen eenvoudig maar mooi de kracht en grilligheid van de lijn in het menselijk lichaam en de schoonheid van onderdanigheid in bondage

    I think this is pretty simple but nice work these drawings the power and unpredictability of the line in the human body and the beauty of submission in bondage
