Kid gloves

Kid gloves. Oil pastel on mixed papers on cardboard.

This work featured in the Bartleby exhibition in Berlin.

The drawings are of a pair of gardening gloves, bought from a Berlin hardware store (Bauhaus). 3 different types of paper were used in it’s creation. One is patterned with Russian dolls (Matryoshka).

The title “Kid gloves” is a reference to the situation in Ukraine and Europe’s approach to Russia and it’s involvement in the conflict there and its annexation of Crimea.

A second pair of gloves were also studied to produce a third piece of work at the exhibition.

Rossman Plastic bag drawings – Berlin Germany

Rossman plastic bag drawings were shown at the Berlin Objekte exhibition in Berlin, Germany, in the summer of 2014.

Rossman is a popular German supermarket chain. I drew a Rossman plastic bag I acquired from shopping in one of their Berlin stores. Using oil pastel, I drew on unbleached paper and sometimes cut-out small sections of some drawings to expose coloured paper underneath. This produced a solid block of colour where needed.

The drawings were installed into the exhbition space so that they appeared to float or catch a passing breeze.
