After working so furiously on artwork it’s easy to forget
the components that are swept up, left behind or discarded. I have come to
realise that these elements are critical features and can, sometimes be as
important as the work itself.
I’ve been working with chalks and the amount of residue dust that settles (literally everywhere!) in the studio is quite surprising.
Working with strong yellows and acidic tones, alongside pure white created some
interesting colour formations on the floor. Without thinking I had
been walking over the dust making my own mark: creating patterns, and the
obsessive in me decided to document this.
It’s easy to forget the details of life that make it more
intriguing and ultimately more exciting.
I’m fascinated by the images below.....perhaps my next body
of work will explore the by-products when making artwork, instead of the original piece itself.
