SARAU with Tarimba

 

24.03.2019

I was so happy to be invited to contribute a work of art for Tarimba Sessions # 02, which took place at GRAAL, Lisbon. Find out more about the amazing work Tarimba Coletivo are doing here.

 

This temporary chalk work was created from some recent drawings, developed through my engagement with technical and machine drawings found in the archive of the Museu Industrial da Baía do Tejo (Quimiparque) in Barreiro, Portugal.

Interview with She Performs

Read my interview with She Performs Curator Holly Daizy Broughton, where in which we discuss my most recent projects developed in Barreiro, Portugal.

I’m drawn to the idea that the viewers encounter with my work might be brief or fleeting. Through the use of an ephemeral material, the viewers experience is all the more transitory and unique, dependant on them being at that place in that time frame before the work disappears.

Over the course of several weeks I continued to add to the ‘pool’ of water, layering pigment and water, allowing it to interact with itself, allowing the minerals to dry and change their form.
