Untitled (Rainbow)
Untitled (Rainbow) comes from a larger body of work entitled Spinning in my Mother’s Garden: a search for subjectivity. This research looked into the possibility of female subjectivity in a society based in patriarchy. Navigating feminist thought through equality, difference and androgyny and considering the theories of Irigaray, Derrida, Kristeva and others.
Untitled (Drawing Performance)
12 coloured pencils are removed from their packet and placed into a container. A pencil is selected at random from the container. Using a ruler a straight line is drawn, a ruler width distance from the left edge of a landscape A4 white piece of paper. The line starts 2cm from the top of the paper and finishes 2cm from the bottom. The pencil is returned to the container. The ruler is moved 3mm to the right (by eye). Another pencil is selected at random and other line drawn. The process repeats until a line is drawn a ruler width distance from the right edge of the paper. The series continues.
Untitled (Performance)
An A2 piece of cartridge paper is ruled into a grid using pencil. Sheets of coloured stickers (red, blue, green and yellow) are cut, separated into individual stickers, and placed into a container. A sticker is drawn at random from the container and placed in the next available square of the grid. Starting with the top left square, moving left to right filling each row. The series continues.
