This piece was the result of a recent experiment with pigment ink markers and was documented using high quality time-lapse. In doing this, the piece can not only be enjoyed in its complete state but can also be appreciated at several stages throughout the process.
Throwaway pieces were originally intended to celebrate a fleeting moment (a temporary install in a public place, for example), so the use of time-lapse allows me to straddle the magic of that moment while also presenting something more permanent and collectible.
As a collaboration, the subject of this piece, CXLOE, an Australian musician based in LA kindly provided a series of references in the weeks leading up to the sketching of this portrait. CXLOE more than fulfilled the brief by providing a series of emotive and captivating images.
The piece itself is an absolute conversation starter. The lustre of the metal sheet plays with light as you move around the piece. Its lines are chaotically drawn but come together to form a cohesive and emotive portrait. While this piece has the potential to be the focal point of a minimalist or industrial home, its pop art elements make it a perfect addition to any space.
