ONLINE EXHIBITION - 2020
between
Between the known, the not-yet-known and the almost forgotten, exists a poetic tension. As artist I work in and between these ever shifting domains of tension as it relates to place – as the titles of the works suggest.
Working with the primary media of paper and charcoal, I erode the materiality of the paper, perforating the surface in anticipation of a mark and image to emerge. The tactile materiality of the surface incrementally reveals itself, offering nuances in texture, tonality, and depth of both paper and charcoal.
The intimate process of interaction with these materials, becomes one of uncertainty and tension. Through processes of separation, fragmentation and layering, I begin to reimagine the relationship between place and memory in all its porousness and fragility.
