"Throughout, and since studying dance, all I have wanted to do is somehow find a way to draw and document human motion. I like to explore how it can be captured and become a visual memory. Using movement improvisation, I have also begun to question how motion can be prepared or devised and transcend into the creation of a drawing.
I have presented open installations and exhibitions, which invite observers to come and see my work, but simultaneously see me working; my process is something I want to share, This website acts as an alternative way to do this - an online journal of past projects and new experiments.
I draw physically, and explore what this means to me."
Charlie Ford is an artist from the UK that specialises in performance drawing. He focuses on the creation of the work and his own physicality. Ford tends to exhibit himself in Galleries as he creates the work and invites audiences to come and observe him as he draws. He also exhibits the final outcomes of his performances in Galleries too.
I really like the aesthetics of the white charcoal/chalk on the black paper. His installation set ups are quite interesting and I like how he works flat on the floor and builds his work around his body, and the limits of his physical actions.
