The drawings emanate from Maldoro’s described
hallucinogenic vision of a lighted street lamp floating down a dark river in
the blackness of night (from Le Chants de
Maldoror, Lautrèamont, 1869). The drawing’s exploration of lead pencil,
charcoal, water resistant and water-soluble materials with gum arabic create a
tactile quality.
