Media: Drawing

The fictional spaces in Hillary Brace's charcoal drawings on mylar describe an ethereal world of vaporous forms, cavernous crevices and roiling clouds and evoke primordial memories and psychic spaces. These exquisitely rendered drawings depict a secret world with photographic veracity. Brace begins these works by first darkening the entire surface and then removing the charcoal medium with various hand made tools, allowing the image to emerge through the exploration of the processes of chance and intuition. More recently a certain amount of premeditation is involved as the artist prepares by using her own photographs of tableaus and other diverse means of garnering information. Consequently these works show an even more remarkable use of technique, as the works are more deceptively photographic.
