Admitting the Possibilities of Error ~ Let us Draw into a Circle

Admitting the Possibilities of Error are drawn meditations on error. Each drawing begins with a perfect circle and evolves from Kirsten’s repeated attempts to perfectly copy the preceding line. Her mistakes create the drawing’s fascinating shapes, reminiscent of fingerprints and tree rings. In 2015, Kirsten drew for 57 hours throughout Performance Arcade using donated and borrowed pens and pencils. As a response to challenge of global warming, Kirsten will be burning her lines into a wooden circle in her UK studio whilst connected via a Zoom tunnel with Performance Arcade 2021 visitors and occasional special guests from around the globe. In a deliberate play on the double meaning of the verb ‘to draw’, Kirsten invites visitors and zoom guests to make their own responses to her invitation: ‘Let us Draw into a Circle’ creating a dynamic virtual round table of interactions for the duration of Performance Arcade 2021.
