Dirty Drawings
Dirty Drawings
Agitated, disturbed, grainy, scratchy, itchy, noisy, dirty, troubled.
Communities of numbers caught in spatial and temporal paper and ink fields.
Landscapes to get lost in.
The soil is troubled, the drawings are troubled, I am troubled. To “stay with the trouble” (Donna J. Harraway) I spend my time accumulating numbers extracted from the earth by probes – blunt-ended instruments used for exploring a wound, part of the body or the earth.
The wet and warm numbers migrate and scratch their way into the paper via invisible networks, processors, and my body.
They settle, unsettled, cloudy, misty, gusty..
