STILLNESS IS ACTUALLY ... THEN NON-DUAL
animation made with charcoal, oil-based charcoal and colored pencil, observationally hand-drawn and erased on the same paper | 5m | 219 stills | no audio | 2017
AP from Edition: 3 + 1 AP​
​
The palimpsest is not a side effect, as in the traditional sense, but something constructed with intention and negotiations, out of lines I feel most comfortable about, accentuated with black colored pencil, which is harder to erase than charcoal. The image becomes gradually darker, yet I do not see this as a descent into negativity, but as a method to accumulate and interpret personal experience into an abstract message from which others could benefit.
