Research: Anna Barriball

"her process formulates as poetic meditation, finding a delicate fascination in the mundane and overlooked."

British Artist, b. 1972 Plymouth
MA Chelsea
represented since leaving art school

suggested artist to research after tutorial, as my work continues to have repetitive elements and am still interested in representing these with video

Themes:
traces and impressions of real objects
obsessional meditative approach
subtle
quiet
detailed but not always obvious on first looking
sculptural dimension to work although 1-D

uses drawing materials graphite ink pencil

works 1:1 scale 'based in reality', something between drawing and sculpture

Media:
graphite on paper
duct tape
found photographs
100% cotton paper (normally used for archival photographs)-pliable


thoughts:
unfortunately not able to view the video of Drawn.
Love such a simple idea working and the number of associations it has
was mesmerised by the blinds video i did but doesn't have the depth of this
the play on words is clever and apt
