These Verre Églomisé drawings are a means of exploring my fleeting sensory response to the filmic moment of the discarded garment. Through my experience of looking at the drawing, I evoke the uncertainty I encounter when watching this fragment of film; am I outside the film- watching or inside it?

 

The physical act of gilding glass is a technique somewhere between putting on make-up and performing a skin graft. Because the drawing is mirrored, I am visible to myself, in motion, in the act of viewing the work and being embodied and the work takes on a visual dimension, similar to my identification with the character on film. My eye’s inability to focus on either the surface layer or reflection invokes a physical response that confuses sight and bodily sensation.
