Her work explores the relationship between performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind. I realize not everyone admires the work of Marina Abramovic. She’s been called an attention seeker, a bullshit producer, an egoist. Dr. Lisa Levy, …
I chose these sketches specifically to look at how vine charcoal can be used in a drawing to talk about change, movement and time. Vine charcoal is a lovely medium. It’s just a simple burnt branch, and it allows the artist to make a line, smudge it out, and make another. The dark lyrical lines …
