This drawing is a tracing from slide which I took in NY. It is an image of an american flag catching the wind. I have kept only the red stripes. I'd like to reproduce this drawing on the floor in red chalk.
Title: 50
This is a reference to the 50 missing stars and to the 50 years of Jasper Johns' "Flag".
This drawing interests me because it becomes abstract, a plant which I inscribe in corner of Flux. Also, there is a risk that the chalk will be erased or float away with the passage of people. It is a reminiscence, the form (or "afterform") issued from a hyper-represented image.
Dust in the Wind
Freedom, like chalk drawings, is ephemeral. I'm glad someone finally noticed the connection between the two.
