Michelle Forsyth | One Hundred Drawings, 2005-ongoing
About the work: One Hundred Drawings is an ongoing series of elaborate gouache drawings depicting sites of disaster that have I have visited and re-photographed. Although the nature and magnitude of each event covered by my project varies considerably throughout the series, all the events have been captured photographically, simultaneously marking them as historical events and thus fostering ongoing media attention. As opposed to trying to recreate the aesthetic spectacle triggered by the media coverage of each event, I have instead focused on capturing images of aspects of the site that tend to be more fugitive.
