body print drawing

The intimacy of touch made visible

Begun in 1995, the Bodyprint Drawings evolved over a decade of sustained experimentation with gesture, contact and surface.

Each work begins with paper prepared in charcoal. By pressing, lifting, and moving my body across the surface, the image emerges through removal rather than addition — the body both subject and tool.

Over time the process became more experimental: working on gesso-primed panels, adding drawn line, then sealing the surface beneath thick layers of resin. The resin fixes the trace behind a reflective skin, transforming the drawing into a mirror that shifts with the viewer’s position.

These works move between figuration and abstraction, presence and disappearance — a record of touch, movement and time.
