About The Artwork

My practice stems from an interest in an investigation of drawing, the processes involved and the histories associated within it. Interested in the process of drawing, I have created an experimental procedure to introduce controlled chance and unpredictability in my work. In contrast to traditional pencil and paper contact techniques, where the artists’ motions are limited to hand and arm movements. I create drawings independent of my own hand, using my breath to propel the ink to introduce a wide range of lines and shapes into my drawings. A whole life is manifested in a single breath. Each line in my drawings is formed by one single breath, making visible the essence of life force. My breath becomes a medium of recording life as such. The resulting drawings offer shapes and lines that no human hand could achieve. I want to push the medium of drawing to new extremes, questioning the definition of drawing today. This piece can be hung both landscape or portrait. It is framed in a black wooden frame.

Denise McCabe is an exciting young artist determined to succeed. She opened her own studio and Gallery D32 in a rural area in Co. Monaghan, Ireland in 2016. Since then her work has been collected by private collectors throughout the country and internationally. Denise McCabe's art making practice seeks to question the validity of traditional drawing gestures. Her work is a meditation on process and repetition, refusing the need to derive or represent intellectual meaning solely for the sake of being meaningful. She uses her breath to propel the ink to introduce a static composition and a feeling of constant movement. The final drawings are transparent in the sense that the accumulation of pigment is perfectly clear. Their structure and their process are laid bare. She aims to make the viewer attentive to the physicality of the drawings as well as their own psychological resonance.
