Artist Statement
We are currently engaged in a long distanced collaborative project
using the email system and creative packages within the home computer
suite. Drawing occupies a central role in the work, being both the initial
drawn component scanned into the PC, and an integral part of the pictures
development as it zips back and forth between collaborators while in file format.
The mark making is directed using either a drawing tablet or the mouse itself,
and drawings are instigated by either collaborator. Although this form of pictorial
communication is itself the primary subject matter, each individual dialogue is
representative of concerns, expressions and incidents based on our own
particular experiences and personal histories. We literally draw out the threads
of our daily lives, ritually recording the most pertinent in sketch form. These
'diaristic' sketches are then worked upon and expanded until each subsequent
e-drawing reaches completion. The sleeping partner in all of this is the machine
or program itself, for as expansive as the possibilities within each program
may be, our choices are still confined within its parameters.
