detailed 125

125
Named after the process of production 125 is a composite of many thousands of handmade markings made over the course of 125 hours.
An unstretched canvas pre-dyed by hand was laboured over for many weeks with the rolled and scrunched up canvas permanently bending and being dragged, essentially ageing as the process unfolded.
The chaotic pattern creates a hybrid texture reminiscent of the sub-atomic and the cosmos, seizing at the unutterable. Impelled by Michaux's “attempt to draw the flow of time and the consciousness of being”, repetitive lines explore movement and awaken the fragile realm beneath sensation.
The lines in the piece are orchestrated intentionally with a binary rhythm echoing the breath and heartbeat of the artist creating a meditative or automatic state throughout the composition but also expressing the opposition which holds this piece in tension of the random and the systematic, the visible and invisible, and the empty and the full.
The work aims at the sensory, connoting the inherent organic unity of everything in reality, while at the same time, the individuals isolation within. The work captures inner tremor; it takes control of the chaos by holding it still, as our only means of making sense of it.
It is up to the spectators will, to contemplate and accept this absurd cypher of time.
