This is 'Window Seat' by Jack Carr. It's a delicate dance of pencil lines on paper, all coming together to describe something bigger than the sum of its parts. I imagine Carr, back in time, with a vision of something elegant and functional, maybe perched in a sunlit room. He's got his pencil, feeling the grain of the paper under his hand, teasing out these forms one sketch at a time. You can see the leaves, the legs, and the little paw feet of the design. Look at the way he's rendered the texture. Those parallel lines, the curves, the subtle shifts in pressure, all work together to bring this object to life. It's a study in patience, a love letter to form. It reminds me of the kinds of drawings that artists like Agnes Martin would make, trying to materialize and visualize their internal visions and artistic processes. It feels like a peek into the mind of a maker, a quiet conversation across time.
