'Palimpsest 1':
Charcoal on paper,
59.5 cm x 84 cm,
Clare Hawkes, 2016
​

Covering the paper completely with charcoal first, allows a process of rubbing into it and reapplying to give the layering effect of palimpsest.
Concerned here with the cinematic, I worked with imagery from the 'Breaking Bad' TV series to give depth and movement to a still image.



Surface Tension
A series inspired by the black and white Jean Luc Goddard film, 'Breathless'. I looked at ways of obscuring the face and emphasised this by severe cropping as well as the blurred effect, made by rubbing into paper I first covered totally with charcoal marks.
