In this series M.Lohrum reflects upon how the dichotomies of presence/absence and trace/tracker operate in performative drawing.  The artist starts by using a square format of 1.5m x1.5m, where her body comfortably fits in. She then performs repetitive and systematic movement routines, using both hands or her feet to trace her movements directly onto the paper with graphite or charcoal.  This methodology generates beautiful abstract patters derived from the symmetry of her body and movements. The resulting images encourage the viewer to track her traces, and imagine her body performing on the paper by ‘reading’ the drawing. Close-up and process pictures of this series can be found here.
