Evaporation Drawing I

This work is part of the artists series, New Forms: a study of broken parallels (2017), where he starts to explore the body as a concept of space. He no longer confines himself to figurative representations of the body, but considers it as a more expansive and spatial form. Land and water now become bodies themselves. 

This work follows the process of evaporation of a self created body of water and pigment. "Within the language of landscape, water is a powerful force that acts as a builder and destroyer, an archetypal symbol of birth and life. Water is also essential in making paper, the primary medium that I am working with" (De Wet, 2019).
