Large Drawing- analysis using tutor notes

This idea Wayne mentioned of a Utopia, created by artists like Paul Noble, has helped me massively in realising why this piece says everything I think it says. It is so evocative of the fantasy idea I have in my head and appears to be its own world with its own culture. This utopian feel coming from the picture, comes mainly from the way I think about my drawings; they are simply places I want to go, unachievable target destinations, I draw them as an escape for myself. 

This also links to the idea of the picture being a text in and as of itself. I do not find it necessary to have this written statement next to my work, like Tolkien's images for his books or Tyukanov's little descriptions, because I get something very personal from it. I think that is how I want it to be for others viewing anything I create.
