These
pieces explore the relation of drawing, regarded as a system of mark making, to
contemporary data visualization systems and to the recording of memories. In
this work, local, sometimes geopolitical, histories are transformed into
information structures. These drawings incorporate depictions of
objects, axonometric projections, elevations, remnants of archival
maps, and abstract marks. Various systems of time keeping and language usage,
including timelines and scales, are referenced. Many details are removed to
create spare, chart- or map-like works that render narrative into a material
dimension.
My
investigations consist of two related series: 1) wall-based installations made
up of thread, chalk marks and pencil lines; and 2) drawings on mylar. The
former investigate the intersection between painting and wall installation and
utilize materials in a limited painting space on and in front of the wall. The
latter play descriptive lines off more abstract pencil marks in repeated grids
on mylar, and often include printed photographs that I mostly erase.
The
works document how materiality, space and temporal changes constitute a
kind of visual or mapping system wherein we remember a place. The finished
drawings contain contradictory spaces and incomplete narratives.
