'Five Sisters' (2009)

Thread, parcel string, pins.

I'm currently two weeks away from my final degree show and this is what I've been doing...

Drawing three of these...



and unraveling them to make these...


Which I draw and bind in these...

Heres an extract from my artists' statement to explain more clearly...

'My most recent project brings together these ideas of time, repetition and process to create something which is on the verge of a performance project. This involves creating large drawings on canvas, which are then unraveled from the bottom. The drawing is the re-formed into ‘thread drawings’, made from the unraveled canvas. Once made these thread drawings are then re-drawn and bound into book form. The extensive, continuous process involved in this project is very important to the work that is produced, and this process is carefully documented through records of the times and dates that the large canvas drawings and the thread creations are worked on and photographs of the work at numerous stages. Through this the process is archived and preserved, and will feature in the final exhibition, becoming part of the work itself.'
