As It Falls, Either Remembered Or Not Seen

Drawing, 2009

Ongoing series of drawings based on found images of beached whales, shipwrecks and other scenes at sea. The subjects are floating against the flatness of the blank paper as if incomplete fragments of a dream or a half remembered story. Allocating some references to childhood tales and science fiction, this work is a continuation of my interest in notions of distance and dislocation and the role of images to determine our individual sense of identity and place.

Serie de dibujos a partir de imagenes encontradas de ballenas varadas, naufragios y otras escenas en el mar. Los sujetos estan flotando en el vacío del papel, como fragmentos incompletos de un sueño o una historia a medio recordar. Este trabajo es una continuación de mi interés en los conceptos de distancia y permutación y el papel de las imágenes para determinar nuestro sentido individual de tiempo y espacio.
