Water Drawings are works from a series of drawings and installations where
the artist explores the limits of visibility. Her "water drawings" use elements of
drawing (repetitive gesture, water, paper) in an intuitive use of a traditional
discipline, taking into account the collaboration between the material and the artist
in her exploration into "the indefinite something that exists between what is
knowable and what is not". The artist states: "The process involves drawing circles over and over in water, circling in water, complete river systems on paper. Paper is the repository, a transfer point as in writing and reading; the final object is the wrinkled residue of once-was-wetness. The drawings are nearly invisible in the making as I must continuously move around to catch the light reflecting off the pools before they evaporate, eventually drying into relief maps of my perceptual
struggles." This work is subtle, but challenging in that it is not obvious what it is, inviting a closer inspection.
