About the work
The work is an investigation into the discovery of being a missing person.
The drawings are intuitive descriptions and self-critical reflections
of my life and personal experiences. I recollect my own perspective of this
different
world, once a very different place, fast becoming more commonplace in society.
The drawings mirror what I see and feel about this experience, reflecting on
childhood memories and highlighting the existence of dysfunctional families.
They reveal the myths that often make up our own fragile lives.
Through linking
the drawings with each another, the work becomes more complex and exposes many
hidden layers. There is no beginning, middle,
or end to the
piece, only the unravelling of hidden questions about one another. The work
becomes closer to a far-fetched story and reveals a set of scenarios in which
anyone could find themselves subjected. Scenarios that suggest anyone is capable
of disappearing.
The work is made up of approximately thirty ink drawings placed
in space of 460cms or wider. A white silk emulsion boarder is painted on the
gallery wall.
With the boards and ink drawing placed in this area. Each drawing is placed
on 9mm board which hangs flush to the wall and varies in size from 20 x 26cms,
26 x 31cms and 31x 41cms.
