Would you like a few minutes of my time... in the form of a drawing? Timing is everything. In January of 2012 I started a new series The Continuous Work Drawings (Double Dip), making 1500 drawings in a span of a few months. Three years later, I'm exhibiting this work as part of Getting to Infinity, a show with a timeline corresponding to their making. I am offering the drawings up for sale on the day they were created. Drawings will be posted daily here starting January 23rd, 2015. To receive a personal email to be offered a drawing please subscribe here. The series began as a way to think about the relationship of time spent doing other tasks during the day when I rather be making art. I wondered if it was possible to do both, make art and work at the same time, to double dip in a way. My day job primarily consists of using Adobe Photoshop to remove imperfections and altering color for fashion and beauty advertisements. My retouching tools are a stylus and Wacom tablet, which are similar to pen and paper, with the tablet being the surface and the stylus being the pen. Movements of the stylus on the tablet are recorded as simple continuous paths. Visually they are reminiscent of the particle collision event displays recorded at the Large Hadron Collider, which I had the amazing opportunity to visit in 2013. While particle collisions are captured in a millionth of a second, my drawings are akin to personal event displays, recording collisions of time and the infinitesimal amounts of the digital space I alter on a daily basis. Each drawing was created through a computer program that tracked my cursor while retouching photos at work. Most clocked between 4-6 minutes each, the time it took to finish an image. On the back of each work is the drawing number, date, minutes passed and time of day. I thought about the connection of time to labor and wanted to be able to make the drawings affordable enough so anyone could buy one. Each work is an edition of 1 for $50. Coincidentally if all 1500 drawings sell (minus expenses) it would be the exact amount of my full-time salary that year and my current student loan debt.
