Frottage
Graphite, pastel on paper

The artist collected street imprints using the method of frottage. The act of rubbing patterns found on the street onto a sheet of paper implies a performative public action. The forms found on the sidewalk – grids, lines, meshes and so on – often dictated the method of frottage: swift collages or rather composed compositions were created according to the given situation. The environment was also collected and archived on paper, spotted with fluids from the foliage, insects, and bends created by wind and dirt. (Hili Perlson)
