Rings: Unity Video 4 mins 2007-2009
dimensions variable
Exhibited at the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2007 and 53rd Venice Biennale with Celeste Prize 2009
Rings reflects a refinement of my on going experimentation in automatic drawings produced by setting parameters of time, scale, format and drawing tools. The video records the action of my hand attempting to make a drawing, with the silver rings influencing movement and mark-making. The resulting silver deposits left on the surface trace my hands movement. The cropped format and recording in real time turn the whole action into the art object: the screen becomes the support and containing frame. As much as referencing Modernism's concerns with the refinement of form and content, I am just as interested in the references to marital rings, play and the creationist myth of god's hand creating the word - with his knuckles! Rings designed by Ruth Rignall (RCA)
Tics
The animation tracks the tics and sounds of a 6 year old autistic boy in an attempt to signify the exteme auditory and sensory experiences he may be going through
