Details
Spic and Span in February (2016) is part of an ongoing process of creating twelve variations of graphite drawings on silk paper and canvas, each of which is linked to a month in the year, Kaabi-Linke reflects upon her own practice of print making. This exercise facilitates an understanding of whether a real time painting or drawing is even possible. In the process of creating, the individual aspects of each variation of the work lie in the very nature of its origin and in the evolutionary process of the piece itself. In the end, each drawing relates to both, time and space, through the activity of filling periods of time until the surface satisfies the conditions which end this process. The acceptance of this end or when the work is complete is the only decision the artist can make.
