DRAWINGS, 1998

Mapi Rivera

These drawings were made at the Saint Martins School in London, thanks to an Erasmus Grant. They are translations of notes taken in my diaries, original sketches that explore a "body of perception" in a continuous state of fluidity, lightness and metamorphosis.

Using the oil technique, they expand the multiple facets of the first sketch, stretching the power concentrated in its immediate transcription.

Sometimes, the strength of the first line is partially diluted, disintegrating in the pro-creation of series of images that become a succession of snapshots of that first dilated image.
