Powder Drawing

By  Jenny Purrett 2014
A line of fired gunpowder burns a memory into the viewer’s eyes. The delicately charred remains create a drawing, a reminder of the event, just as any drawing for the artist is a reminder of an experience. Memories are always embedded within the line produced.
