To erase is to change. As an inherent part of the creative methodology of drawing, this exhibition highlights how erasure is a generative strategy, one that proposes a future of political, social, environmental and aesthetic transformations. In some works, erasure acts as a mode of expression or it operates by layering the past with the present or as a proposition about action and trace. In each case, it operates as some kind of palimpsest.
