In continuation of Wrong Women, in 2022 I made a series of charcoal based body print drawings during an artist residency program using performance, pareidolia, scrying, esoteric wisdom and printmaking with natural items to reveal hidden forms into light as guided by my ancestor spirits. The figure and identity is central to my work. In this new batch of drawings, using performance, I am directly employing my body as medium for the initial base print. The drawings start from an abstract background, I then meditate and use the technique of pareidolia and sometimes scrying; which is the tendency to perceive a specific image from your subconscious in ambiguous visual pattern — to then find the hidden signs, figures, and narratives that exist to guide us towards the moment to come. In the drawing the “Forbidden Fruit”, I started with a base print of my breast using graphite powder. I meditated with the abstraction for a few days and slowly the silhouette of the women figure on the right started to emerge, followed by the male figure on the left. The tertiary figure, or the forbidden fruit, emerged in composite from the other two. During my drawing process, my ancestor spirits take guide and I create from a balance of intuitive and concept driven methods. I seek to create visual tension through automatic and intended mark making. I like to fuse binary concepts and techniques of representation, from contrasting languages of wet and dry textures, precision and chaos, into stimulatory layers as to create conceptual proximity between forces of opposition and displacement.
