Viewfinder is an exploration of the intersections
between drawing, optic technology and tactility. Viewfinder contains small
drawings created through ink, pencil and digital compression. Fragments of ink
that are visible through the viewfinder retain the impressionistic quality of
their original drawn gesture, making this device both an animated sequence and
an exploration of the attributes of mark making. These small drawings are based
upon footage from gallery surveillance cameras. While shifting through each frame,
the gallery space appears to be accessible from a range of different
perspectives.
