in the back of every devil (Horde series); a shattered angel (Parasitica series), 2024

Framed drawings in pastel, charcoal, pencil, coloured pencil, tracing paper, two dreams bracketing one text message, a fortnight

in the back of every devil (horde series), and a shattered angel (parasitica series) are a series of notations in the form of drawings made out of pastel, charcoal, pencil, coloured pencil, on tracing paper. They were compulsively made wthin a fortnight after experiencing two dreams bracketing one text message. I had no idea what the broader project was at the time, beyond compulsion, and that felt correct; drawing to me has to feel somewhat unknowable -- the excess of experience is what the line moves towards. There is an entwinement here between the act of drawing, its continuities and discontinuities, its insistence and repetitions, and the psychic line. They may be seen as a kind of ghost drift, a returning to the scene of encounter (the dreams), through a detour of line.
