Treading Water, 2022Treading Water is the product of my drawing process using carbon transfer, a kind of pseudo-printing process. One side of the printed broadside shows the “positive” (the original drawing on paper), the other is the "negative” (composed of used carbon papers engraved with the layered residue of my drawing marks over time). The carbon paper marks are made visible only when illuminated or backlit. These works illustrate the collision of forces from the natural world acting on the fragile built environment, prompting erosion and disintegration. Letter forms are banal slogans and notes to self, fragmented broadcasts, set free from normal context.
