Fire Drawings

Plywood, phosphorus sulphide
212cm x 180cm x 5cm
2012
Fire Drawings are remnants of a performance acted out by a flame. We screen printed compositions of lines onto three wood canvases using a flammable paint, each starting at a single point before branching into multiple pathways. When lit, the flames burn along the path like a fuse, leaving a charcoal trail behind. Each choreography takes a different route but finishes with the same crescendo; a burning circle of fire.
