Description
Summary:Curated by Courtney Spencer, Definitions of Drawing II was the second incarnation of the exhibition bringing together the work of artists who interrogate the medium of drawing through their practices. My drawings presented in this exhibition continue my research into drawing practice and how the experience of landscape, might impact or inform the drawn mark. As a starting point, I took a road traffic website which observes the conditions of roads in Iceland. Images from this website were used to create drawings. The imagery from webcams for me evokes historical landscape painting tropes: this project enabled me to re-address these, through the means of drawing. The drawings bring together older processes and ideas of landscape, with contemporary technologies. Consequently, the finished works intersect fleeting images of roadsides in Iceland with historic art dialogues, connecting two different perceptions of time.
