JESSICA DICKINSON : traces

1 / 2

traces / The traces are made on grey paper from either a rubbing of the surface of the paintings in progress, from beneath and between the works on paper, or a combination of both. These works are a way to capture the stages, ideas and poetics that surface and are then subsumed in the development of works, and to assert momentary flashes of visibility within dense aggregations of time. Form is often reduced and either reflects the directness and color of the notebook drawings, and/or the chance pressures of time and residual marks in the works on paper. The traces have evolved to incororate paper that has been pressed between works on paper or around the studio for extended periods of time, accruing extensive marking and wear.
