Monologue
I think that monologue and hatching have something in common: movement. And maybe also bursting or some sort of scattering. The monologue allows you to come face to face with yourself or two others yourself to discuss and reflect on a subject such as the current pandemic.
The direction that our ideas will take is indeterminate. Although for hatching the directions of the lines are determined in advance but the beauty of their layout, the beauty of their movement remains unpredictable. It is discovered during the construction of the image.
The lines on the paper are parallel to each other. Sometimes they cross or overlap. Others stand out, they emerge to be overtaken by others. They come together to produce the final drawing. Like our ideas during a monologue.
And if after all these lines, these ideas were only one thing with a power to multiply themselves so they can bring out the truth, the solution, the final image?
I took advantage of this moment of confinement to advance on certain projects. The drawing presented here is part of my first solo exhibition named Intimate Moments which will take place in Hiroshima in August of this year. Intimate Moments shows the invisible link established between Japan and the Congo when the atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima in 1945. This bomb contained uranium extracted from the Shinkolobwe mines in the Belgian Congo
"In the spring of 2020, Drawing Tube launched “Signals” in collaboration with artists working in different environments all over the world. It was interested in exploring what artists were thinking during the pandemic. Artists were encouraged to contribute small visual and textual fragments from their daily life that materialised from hand and eye movements as well as spontaneous thoughts.
Collectively, these become signals of this new era and a space to reconsider how drawing can work as a means to translate and perceive changing reality."_Drawing Tube.
As part of this project, I presented my work Monologue in a different light.
