SLOW UNDER BIRDS OF PREY2022
Powdered charcoal monocopies
Fabriano paper 220 grams
150 x 120 cm each copy
Serial work, edition of 3
Drawing, engraving, performance and meditation come together to give life to this work. To achieve the essence of monocopy, the artist induces his mind and body into a trance-like state through meditation. With the paper base laid out on the floor, he draws with his feet, slowly rubbing powdered charcoal.
Once you have finished the drawing, you proceed to copy. Placing another sheet of paper over the original drawing, he passes his feet over the paper again, thus sealing the image in a ritual experience.
Each print has a lesser amount of pressure exerted on the paper, allowing for the creation of more delicate and subtle images.
