Through the months of September and October, I've been making studies of sites that feel fragile or threatened by demolition. I sought to capture buildings, vehicles and forms that may be nearing the end of their functional lifespan. My hasty drawings marked out obsolete and inanimate weathered shapes - detailing what might soon return to dust.
A collection of Môrafon's self-portraits created in 2004 make their debut, unearthed from a decade of solitude, to be shown at the exhibition curated by Philippa Bayley 'When death Comes'. Môrafon says, 'These drawings form part of a healing process, and represent inner-selves hidden within. These dream-scape characters, however bold and eerie, are all aspects of me.' The show is on at The Island until 11 October 2015. It explores narratives around dying and living. See the website for details. |
