Dale Anthony The Invisible Ray I begin a work by using a system. With random ink or dye stains I am able, by following chance contours, to generate abstract forms. Repeating lines form rhythmical pulses. As if by some sort of corruption to this system, recognisable elements, such as faces, beings etc seem to emerge from this space. The system (process) drawing is treated as an autonomous reality. Like a readymade. Where the introduction of recognisable elements allows a narrative to be built (fantasized) on top. I have titled the works (drawings and paintings) that follow this method "The Invisible Ray". To connote the making of art as a degenerative process. As if, when a pure idea, living in the mind, enters the real world, it is immediately infected and destroyed. |
