The diversity and beauty of art….
Can we take a moment to appreciate my pencil case and that it’s about the only thing I haven’t actually lost 🙈
(Kevin Townsend recent work, SEPT. 2013—MAR. 2015)
I don’t often write much about my work, as I tend to want them to stand (or fall) on their own rather than be propped up by my words— however after sharing some thoughts and insight into my work in the last few weeks, I keep seeing the same question in different words show up in my inbox: I like your work, but, what are you trying to do, what is it about, what inspires you? put simply…
I am interested in in memory— I have a fascination with the way we are marked by time, they way that memory becomes the architecture of our identity and am passionate about exploring various ontologies of drawing. Many of my efforts revolve around variations of traditional concepts of drawing, where mark is deposited over time on to a flat substrate (a sheet of paper, a panel, window, sidewalk, etc). Other experiments seek to embrace the ‘mark deposited over time’ aspect of drawing differently— chalk, ink, ice, teabags, gold leaf, salt, powdered graphite and eraser tailings have all found their way into the works.
The drawings weather on paper, envelopes, temporary structures or bathroom walls are one way for me to explore these ideas. They allow me to: engage in drawing as an act, work with binary oppositions—black/white, full/empty, temporality/permanence, strength/fragility, to make drawings that are simultaneously obsessive, physically demanding, time consuming and embracing of chance.
For me the lines are simply a device, a means to an end. They are a way to mark a moment, to make a drawing that is a document of intention and attention rather than a drawing that is a picture of some ‘thing’ -instead these drawings are records.
Aside from a few simple compositional decisions like paper size, or where the first line will begin, the drawings are unplanned— they evolve extemporaneously and end whenever there is prolonged hesitation. The process is almost meditative, the lines are simply lines, they do not describe a boundary or an edge, they describe a series of moments. When the lines are repeated (each line drawn in response to the line that preceded it) the effect of their accumulation is the emergence of structure— a kind topographic rendering of time. With out any explicit effort the drawings begin to suggest volume and space, the use of repetition and accumulation of line alludes to both the passage of time and the processes of memory formation. The topographic structures that emerge conjure the feeling of waves, flowing fabric or landscape and mirror the way a series of minutes or seconds coalesce in our minds into one unified ‘moment’ or memory. These drawings are conceptual in nature, despite their (sometimes) traditional materials. As this series began I hated every drawing that was being made— but I enjoyed the process and felt confident in the choices I had made to arrive at this place in my work so I kept making them despite my discomfort. They still make me feel uncomfortable, exposed, but I have come to accept them, and the feelings of vulnerability that accompany them. I’m continuing to pursue and move towards new facets of my work, embracing more physically demanding, performative, durational, site specific and installation based works…

I’d like to extend a sincere thank you for the recent questions and comments— I am really enjoying connecting with more new people, feel free to keep them coming. Thanks to those of you who continually like, reblog and message me— your support, attention and interest have meant a lot to me. Best, k.
The Draw to Perform symposium is an exciting international art event that celebrates the unique discipline of live drawing performance. Curated by artist Ram Samocha, this vibrant two days event includes participation of great artists from all over the world. It is open to the public and provides a fabulous live art experience to all art lovers. Drawing performance is a stream of performance art in which artists create their artwork in front of a live audience while communicating with the viewers. Mark making in drawing performance is often a result of powerful physical gesture and body movement connects elements of line, movement, space and time. The first Draw to Perform symposium was held on December 2013. The initiative to gather artists working in this field stemmed from the need to promote the growing stream of live drawing performance. The upcoming Draw to Perform2 symposium will happen at NUM3ER, South London on Sat-Sun May 16-17, 2015. and will focus on durational drawing performances (6 hours long); the connection between performance art and drawing and the relevance of drawing as a modern medium. The symposium will include live drawing performances, video screenings, artist’s talks and lectures by 17 international (Germany, France, Brazil, U.S.A, Australia, Israel, Finland, Taiwan) and local artists and art historians. We invite all art lovers, drawing fans and students to attend this event, to follow the symposium and to participate in the discussion.
