title: recombination
dimension:~Approx. 30" x 60"
media: Graphite, gouache, acrylic matte gel and tracing paper on 8" x 10" sketch sheets
I'm preoccupied with the way an individual and its environment inform each other. For this drawing I completed one composition comprised of adjoined sheets of paper which i then dissasembled and rearranged to form a completely new yet still unified "map" without changing the content of the individual sheets. My process for the above drawing functions as a conceipt for my current preoccupation. I felt it was also important for me to explore the potential fallacy of the notion of only one natural conformation.

p.s. i'm working on some other paintings along the same theme that i'll share at some later point.

no idea why i spelled conceit like receipt... :)
Deborah, I'm fascinated to see where you will take this as a continued and expanded project. Sorry I was not able to make the meeting last night - if I don't see you before, I hope your upcoming show at the Puck Building is a success.
I also like your employment of "cartographs", a word that itself emphasizes the process and artistry of map making as opposed to fixing on the finished product.
Thanks for checking it out Lee. We did miss you yesterday but heard you installed the show (which was really elegant) so you must have been pretty tired.
It's turned out to be a lot harder for me to finish the canvases i'm working on for this project. Still working on them even though the show is in 2 weeks (yikes!). Still, I'm (perhaps foolishly) optimistic.
