Tracing and Retracing a Black & White History

42 in x 48.5 in
Charcoal and linseed oil on paper
Computer mouse "process" drawings. Interested in interactions between black and white media, the drawing chronicles twenty sessions of computer activity. The cumulative drawing represents a virtual self-portrait where I am able to associate moments of abstraction with concrete moments in history. Each unit served as a mouse pad and each unique session was recorded in a journal to help retrace and recount the history of activity that was created.
