Graphite Stick Triptych (1 of 3 panels). 2006, Anonymous.
This work was actually made by a prisoner within their prison.
The original of this drawing is not available. It was created with a black ink pen on white drawing paper. This is the first drawing in a series.
Adrian Guzman Espinoza is currently incarcerated in a Pennsylvania state prison.
These were two photo's done by the same photographer with the theme of Prison being used.
Rather illuminating in that I could express this by photographing a students with a pencil going to stab themself with it, but instead of a bulbous head with the title "Control Unit" I'd have engraved on the side of the pencil "Discipline"
It is interesting to note that when looking at this particular theme that it remains colourless, or pencil drawn. Prisoners aren't normally entitled to luxuries like coloured pencils and such as well as they are in an environment that I guess if I was there would make me feel listless. dull, restricted.
This particular image sticks out to me in an idea. Having a student sit in their desk modelled like the person add the box over the head as well and have say a teacher, or minister for education face/head looming over the student.
This kind of gives me the idea to take a photo of a student pushing open the doors to the school. Or holding a pen and scrunched up paper in both hands.
