drawings works
Drawing extends my printmaking practice. I find in it the same intimate relationship to matter, gesture, and
trace. On paper, I work with water, ink, and sometimes printmaking tools, which I repurpose: they become instruments of vibration, of light scarification, of breath. The paper, thin and
responsive, retains the memory of its passage. It absorbs water, deforms, comes alive—like living skin.
In my explorations, the surface is never neutral. Whether it be paper or skin, it is always inhabited. It becomes
a place of exchange, of contact, almost of encounter. Drawing then becomes a caress, a listening, an imprint. It reveals what is on the surface, what remains beneath.
For me, drawing is entering into a relationship with matter—a fluid relationship, full of resonances between the
body, the gesture, and the support.
