Crunching up charcoal
Crunching
up charcoal, making rough forms, painting back over and rubbing out
has become part of my process. Figures emerge as shadows of people
who have left their mark. I am reminded of patients on the ward;
intensely present for only short periods of time. Some figures take
shape as 'the image' others fall to the background; struggling to
claim space to be seen, to
hold my attention. Impermanence and pain are captured in the entwined
lines and shapes invoking my realisation and feelings of grief about
the tragic inevitability; for many patients I have been working with,
repeat admissions to the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit will
punctuate the rest of their lives.
