The Dark Would, Nine Realms of Dead Poet, Version 1a 2013

Rorschach abstracts made from the names of dead poets handwritten in wet paint. This series was made over a day (sunrise to sunset), and as Chavez-Dawson folded, pressed and draw into the back of the paper, he also drew upon memories of the dead poets’ work and aligned it to the descent and final ascent of Dante, “Teetering between comprehension and experience.” Unless purchased, this sequence will be burnt at the end of the show, and new dead poets’ names will be produced in the same method as the work gets re-exhibited. Yves Klein-esque blue ready mixed Krafty Kidz poster paint on archival A3 paper, permanent maker, 9x white frame, mount board, glass & fixings. Wall paint, 'International Blue' matt emulsion.
