Trajectory, Porch Gallery

Trajectory, Porch Gallery, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester (December 8 -10, 2006)

This performance / installation took place on the opening night of the exhibition and consisted of myself, in the very particular dimensions of Porch Gallery's exhibition space, drawing and discarding a number of pictures. The trajectory in question involved an initial drawing of a crumpled ball of paper drawn from imagination, then crushed and dropped on the floor, where it was then used as a model for a subsequent drawing. This picture, upon completion, was crushed in turn and used for the next. This process continued for the duration of the opening, effectively building a sculptural installion out of a series of drawings.
