Dawn Clements is an artist whose large ink drawings I am studying for a school project titled “Flaneurs in Bucharest”. Her painstakingly drawn interior scenes or movie sets speak of someone who sees the ordinary, mundane, day to day surrounding clutter in a different light, as tokens which carry within them a story.
She works in an organic fashion, adding more paper and more paper as she needs to expand the drawing which leads to some forming irregular shapes that create a feeling of haphazard arrangement intensified by the creases in the paper.
Her compositions are characterized by a dynamic relationship between the blank paper and the inked-in areas, the collage of objects which don’t inhabit the same space and unfinished shapes.
