Vestiges

Graphite on Shoji paper
2022-2023

Vestiges in an ongoing series of large graphite drawings on Shoji paper. The accumulation of marks on these drawings are reduced to ambiguous, simplified gestures which allow the drawings to emulate many things: the direction of wind, currents, movement of branches, footprints, textures on the ground, or the movement of self through space. I find that communicating in more nuanced and raw gestures allow me to better situate the viewers in these spaces by communicating an experience through feeling rather than a documentative and more static narrative. The paper undulates to take on the rhythm of a walk, and takes on a subtle movement as viewers walk past it. Patterns are cut into the surface of the paper, which in combination with the lighting in the space, are projected onto the ground and extend the installation beyond its physicality. These carvings become intangible echoes of the marks on the surface.
