Present Present
The series Chronicles of Matter revolve around traces of time and materials that capture it. The paper of an old book or magazine becomes the base for the artist’s line drawings in white ink. The artist translates the material and technique into time, where white ink on white paper is the present and on brown paper the past. The artist is drawn to collect dry flora, fauna and its roots . In this series, Chronicles of Matter abstractly evokes the differences of each individual connected politically as a fabric of human life and part of the present timeline. The works give a sense of infinity, a cycle which will never end. The artist believes, the molecular material an individual is made of defines his/her aura which is collectively brought together by time. We are an accumulation of the entire universe.
