Encre rouge sur papier artisanal de fibres recyclées, 2020
This new series of drawings is really personal. Using paper that I made myself, I began a diaristic approach to drawing. The aim of this research is to reconnect to the idea of spontaneity within the creative process, and to take a step back from deep conceptual dialectic.
The Human Head is Really Heavy consists of a simple production system, which will gain strength with time and abundance:
a) My pink handmade paper, red ink
b) Images of the daily, thoughts and observations I make regarding the ecosystem I wander in
c) My intuitive drawing style, my handwriting
By implementing a system, I allow my personal feelings to be at the forefront of the work, with the hope that my public will find comfort in relatability. As our Western way of life leaves a lot of us feeling isolated and stranded, I want people to know that they are not alone. In fact, this very idea of isolation as a commonality between us can bring us together to then, in time, inspire action.
