I start by collecting everyday objects from the recent past — things made obsolete by technological changes and time; I then whitewash them with ordinary house paint as a method of erasure, and then draw directly onto their surfaces with charcoal to create visual hybrids that appear to vacillate between drawing and photography, black-and-white and color, signifier and signified, copy and original. No digital manipulation is involved, but the camera’s monocular point of view is imperative.

Artist Benjamin Shine takes single giant sheets of tulle fabric, then carefully folds and irons the semitransparent mesh to create detailed monochromatic’fabric paintings’ which, sez he:

…take their compositional cues from the fabric itself to reveal the inherent qualities of motion, fragility and transience.
