About the work
Drawing no.30, from the Crafted Division series, reflects thoughts on the characteristic industrial origins of Manchester where I worked and lived for nearly a decade. The materials, carbon (graphite) and cotton (drawing surface), have been among the materials processed at industrial units since the beginnings of the industrial era (era of automation), while the motifs resemble the textile structures. This particular drawing series enabled me to handle natural materials, such as carbon and cotton, and observe their fine and particular relations to cultural concepts such as the repetition of manual labour and gendered labour.
