'Withdrawn'- Live performance 2004

By  Saranjit Birdi 2004
Live drawing foot-drawing performance created for group exhibition 'Tales of Exile' produced by Patrice Naiambana, Tribal Soul. This was my first drawing performance, created as a cathartic action expressing the experience of isolation, victimisation and discrimination.

This drawing was created live over four days through August 2012 and is part of an ongoing series titled 'Limits'. begun in 2011 at the Folkestone Triennial Fringe Festival. The process was to stand on the paper and draw using both feet, overall the drawing took around 12 hours. The fun part was meeting the locals in the hustle and bustle of the market nearby and in some cases creating portraits of them as they looked down at the work. The work was video documented.
