Currency (2016)
153 unique drawings on black, graphite, red, dark blue and light blue carbon papers laser-cut and mounted on green fluorescent edge-lit Plexiglas.
Each: 8cm in diameter
Currency is major new multipart work, comprising 153 unique drawings on carbon paper. Each ‘coin’ is imbued with lines derived from old hop stringing patterns. These are mounted on green fluorescent Plexiglas and arranged in a geometric network that mirrors the set-out of a hop garden. The work marks the artist’s return to drawing and her creation of a new lexicon of mark-making: a fresh ‘currency’.
