POOLS, Drawings about surface water and evaporation.
These drawings on panel are nominally about surface water and the residual traces left when the water evaporates. Each of the drawings led me on a different path. The meaning was altered by the process.
Thinking about topography and flow I make each pool using my breath to move the water on the surface of the panel. The flow of water and the way saturated ink collects at the edges shapes the way the pools dry over time. The intimacy of this way of working fits the size of the pools and became a way of physically experiencing a natural process.
Interpreted landscapes are now inevitably linked to ourselves, to our bodies and breath, because humans now determine, with intention or not, the fate of our ever more precarious, stressed natural world.
