1
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:10,320
my name is Bill feelin I'm an artist in

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:13,379
area 9 19 and I live in raleigh north

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,599
carolina I've been drawing my whole life

4
00:00:13,379 --> 00:00:18,570
pretty much I mean it's an integral part

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:20,910
of my practice but it was never in the

6
00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:23,179
forefront as it has been in the last

7
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:25,800
couple of years it was kind of a

8
00:00:23,179 --> 00:00:27,359
accidental kind of thing that I started

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,289
showing my drawing so a lot of times

10
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:32,610
it's problem solving in the drawing

11
00:00:30,289 --> 00:00:36,120
transferring you know the ideas in my

12
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:37,800
head to a two-dimensional place I just

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,570
I've always been drawing since I could

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,120
pick up a pencil it's just a way to

15
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:45,030
communicate for me I go to the studio

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,160
every day i start withdrawing then i go

17
00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:48,840
on to whatever tasks at hand it was

18
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:52,620
really a personal thing in a private

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,559
language that i kind of had with myself

20
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:56,820
to kind of visualize ideas and so I

21
00:00:55,559 --> 00:00:58,829
didn't really want to share those with

22
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:00,989
people too much although they seem

23
00:00:58,829 --> 00:01:03,359
really simple at the surface there's a

24
00:01:00,989 --> 00:01:05,519
lot of complexity to each and every

25
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:07,710
drawing I mean they're so minimal and

26
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:10,020
they're so stripped down and bear

27
00:01:07,710 --> 00:01:12,840
they're almost like raw nerves in the

28
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:16,020
way for me sometimes it's a little hard

29
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,630
for me to let that out it's almost like

30
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:22,680
oh I'm going to show you this big wart i

31
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:25,259
have on my nose so you know it's good

32
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,150
and it's not good a pic home it's not

33
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:29,369
just a pickle I mean for some people it

34
00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:31,170
is it's never if there's like layers and

35
00:01:29,369 --> 00:01:33,960
layers and layers I also used to work at

36
00:01:31,170 --> 00:01:36,600
Mount Olive College which is like right

37
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:39,119
next to the pickle factory I became

38
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,540
obsessed with like pickles and like kind

39
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:44,909
of phallic imagery and then Joe Orton

40
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:47,579
and Kenneth Halliwell wrote this book

41
00:01:44,909 --> 00:01:50,430
called Lord cucumber and so it's like

42
00:01:47,579 --> 00:01:51,930
these all these different levels of like

43
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:53,340
how deep you do you want to go but I

44
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:56,450
know that other people are going to see

45
00:01:53,340 --> 00:01:56,450
that they're going to just see a pickle
