Cecile ParisCécile Paris --50This 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. Cécile Paris and Kerry Downey : Morgan Meis GuidebookSometimes, erasing things is more interesting than adding stuff. Kerry and Cecile’s works are in the tradition of Ronald John Radi Os, which was created by erasing selected words from Milton’sParadise Lost in order to create a new and different poem. Interestingly, there’s another good poem in there, but you only notice it by removing things, taking things away, erasing. catalog/essays | Cecile Paris | Kerry Downey | Morgan Meis | read more | login or register to post comments
