Current series Sun and Sight Works question how drawing, time, space, and thinking can affect and redevelop each other. Quantum physics also influences the outcomes of these works..
Around the winter solstice, I documented the interplay of sunlight and shadow upon cement slabs at a nearby site. The several hours spent (over a few days) on this activity created an immersive experience. Lines and shapes shifted on the cement as the body moved in relation with them. A spatial drawing emerged in real time altering how the site was perceived.
As this 3D drawing manifested, I documented the site from many angles and vantage points. The resulting digital images were then turned into drawings. The process of rendering the shadow interplay on paper became a way to meditate on what was seen and think of what could happen next.
Works on paper were first made in sequence of the order they were shot, one frame at a time. Over a few weeks, the digital images were projected upon each other and traced to mirror the spatial drawing’s shadow movements. It called to mind quantum physicist Carlo Rovelli’s ideas about the quantum world in his book The Order of Time, where “Time is not linear, but rather a web of interconnected moments, constantly folding back upon itself”. In this process, forms and the space overlapped and fragmented, creating a landscape of varied lines, shapes, and tone.
