Rough Cuts | 2021
Rough Cut No. 1, 2021, graphite on paper on foil, 140 x 200 cm
The series Rough Cuts arose from a year and a half long research project What Do Landscapes Say? that investigated landscape narratives in Russia. Focused specifically on the damaged landscapes of open-pit diamond mining in Siberia, ‘rough cut’ refers to the transitory state in between the rough diamond and polished gem. The six sided forms of the drawings reference the hexagonal shape of the diamond’s molecular structure.
