I only really use drawing as a way of thinking on paper and all my drawings are are just technical plans of structures I'm planning on building. I find my work evolves alot faster on paper and I can make mistakes and tweaks far easier than I can when Ive started building. Now Im back at home and away from the studio but still wanting to make work I find drawing a much more accessible option for creating something of a finished work.
Ive always been interested in why we make artwork / the processes of making work and why its so necessary when it has no real funtion in our basic human survival. I had been gathering different printer test pages for a little while now, not really knowing what I was going to do with them. I like that their a drawing without a subject and that its whats been devised a a test to see if basic functions of the printer are working. By taking these and reproducing them as hand drawn articles I'm simply projecting onto them the basic elements of the human touch and the importance of this.
I think they would work well as a series of wall based works but am not 100% on whether they should be multiples of the same print-out, highlighting how every image is slightly unique? or possibly something i could produce over a period of time, one everyday, almost acting as a test for myself to show that I am still alive?
