VISUAL ARTS

WATERMARK: NEW DRAWINGS BY CURTIS CUTSHAW

To create his dynamic, poetically-charged works, Curtis Cutshaw attaches a string to a dowsing rod and then a pen to the end of the string. Walking over ground he finds water, deep below the surface, and then the pen moves, creating his drawings. He describes the process as a search for feeling. "Each drawing gives a presence," he writes.

Opening reception, Thursday, 5 - 8: 30 p.m. (with artist talk 7 p.m.); show runs to Nov. 11 Jennifer Kostuik Gallery

Vancouver Sun October 2012

Like a seismograph, Curtis Cutshaw attaches a string to a dowsing rod and then a pen to the end of the string. Walking over ground he finds water, deep below the surface. He describes the process as a search for feeling, a movement. When it is found, the pen moves creating the line.

It is the push and pull of the reaction his dowsing rod brings to form a drawing. The motion of his steps interacts with the movement of the pen; if he stops walking, so stops the line. It becomes a delicate balance between nature and the hand. From drawing, to computer scan, to archival print on photographic paper the image transforms to something entirely organic and otherworldly.

To view all the works from Watermark 2012, Pull 2011 or, Blindspot 2006, visit his artist page on our web site: Jennifer Kostuik Gallery
