Empty Lines is made up of three large canvas shrouds from my recent body of work. These pieces in particular present a more focused exploration capturing the relentless fatigue of daily existence within the mundane as an artist. They are a display of the lived body as I am able to understand and unveil it. The emptiness that this can create within our lines. I see the final work as the resting site of the process, reflecting what remains and what the materials have decided to present, evolving organically from my state of being at the time. It didn’t start with a clear intention, but rather, grew and transformed, feeding off my emotions and experiences within the process of making. Through the presence of meticulous thread, the hands of this work present an aspect of labour and utility. A further understanding of the process of making the work, and embodiments of maker, inflictor, and healer.
