About The Work
Itch #10 from the series Drawings of Dust, 2004
These actual-size drawings of lint, dust, and hair engage an uncomfortable tension between instinct and intellect. Conflicted, the mind struggles to suppress the body's impulse to blow or brush away these illusory but truly irritating sheddings. The real, the represented, and the imagined intertwine, leading to contradictory experiences of seeing, feeling, and knowing.
Drawings of Dust, are part of Cynthia Lin's contribution to AbC's AIR anthology.
