Durational Drawing

Durational drawing encounters “time as space” and was made during a period of 10 days continuously, from 10 am to 5 pm each day. It departs from my pre-existing concerns on drawing – Drawing on paper reflects a series of concerns prompted by repetitive action, both fuelled by internal (somatic & psychic) and external (drawing & environment) phenomena simultaneously. While making repetitive patterns using the line as form, both mind and body are engaged as machine – moving in methodical, rhythmical motion – mind in a confined space, while the body aided by two tools (pen & ruler), that while making the straight line endures the pain, heightened by the awareness of the self, the surface and the activity.
