Status
Not on viewFor this austere work that combines elements of painting, drawing, and sculpture, Dan Shaw-Town began with the simple support of paper, working and reworking it through folding and the application of graphite and enamel. The acts of manipulating, layering, and transforming materials are at the heart of his work. “A large part of my process is concerned with creating a ‘surface’”, he has stated, continuing, “a physical or repetitive process of mark making, an entropic cycle of creating whilst, at the same time, erasing and ultimately changing.”
