Mildred Vass, ’The machine is trying to think’

The choice of line or mark is one of the utmost importance. I am interested in the narrativity of line and how mark-making can create stories which elicit a range of emotions in the observer, an interest which stems from my love of comics, cartoons and graphic novels. The process of dismantling and reassembling an original pencil or charcoal drawing and then altering the lines by recreating them in different media helps my work to distance itself from its initial starting point and acquire a language of its own.
