Summer 2015: Artwork
Give Up the Queen and Nobody Gets Hurt (detail)
by Rachel Mulder
Size: 40" x 55"
Medium: Typewriter drawing on paper
Artist Statement:
I chose to treat this piece as an exercise in broadening my mark-making. I only used certain characters for certain materials depicted and experimented a little with moving the paper in various non-perpendicular ways through the machine – however I realized I'm a purist and introducing too many variables is not what I'm interested in. There are already so many ways to create marks and value within the framework of using my typewriter.
