Stripper Series - Text

By Amy Bernays

'Stripper Series, Text' is an etching print on paper."I got fed up of paying my 5 pounds to go to life drawing classes when there was a perfectly good strip club around the corner from my studio. It was a bit like drawing wildlife, if I looked right at people with the intensity that you do naturally when drawing someone, then the girls and the punters would adjust their body language and all I got was their backs. So, just like when I used to draw animals in the wild, I pointed my body away from them and would snatch glances when I thought that they weren"€™t looking."
