Holographic Drawing

'Holographic' is from a series of drawings Marisa Rappard started working in 2017 depicting a mesmerizing stream of ink hatchings that hide a ground layer of acrylic paint. The series is inspired by the endless, dense and fast stream of information on the internet, of which you can often not ascertain what is true and what is not. By repeating lines Rappard creates dense patches that collide, together forming an image meandering between figuration and abstraction. In this work there appears to be a suggestion of an horizon halfway, a landscape with water maybe, and wind flowing upward. Still, as a viewer you are left to guess what is true; the picture may fall apart at any moment it seems and escape you. Acting on impulse and coincidence, Rappard carefully adjusts each drawing until it invites the beholder to enter it and wander around in it endlessly.
