The Rupture Series (2022-2024) of graphite drawings began life as a single large-scale (3 x 1.5m) drawing (Eschatos Graphe 2022). In 2024 Michelle decided to cut the drawing into multiple parts, intuitively selecting sections and scale. This completely fractures and alters the way they speak to each other and how we read them. This breakage reactivates the connection between the work, the artist and the viewer. Deeply embedded in the drawings are references to space time and gravity, the enormity of which forms the structure of existence. Multiple forms of graphite have been layered and burnished, both absorbing and reflecting light.
