The series of work, "ABSENCE",
finds its roots, in clues culled from the series of, One After the
Other, which uses ordinary safety pins as its primary medium.
I use the wall as my canvas because its
presence provides the absolute integration of foreground and
background. The pieces, which predominantly use holes, are deepened
and darkened by a graphite pencil, allowing the viewer to experience
the absence of a concrete material and consider the inside and
outside of this existing space as well as the surface. It straddles
the border between sculpture and drawing.
"ABSENCE" Maybe it’s just a mark,
a fingerprint, or a thread, but many times you can trace back to an
original source using small clues. |
