In Alternate Dualities, Lynn Schirmer presents a new series of paired, tiny drawings on white and black paper. The works on white paper were created spontaneously in public spaces, while those on black paper were drawn some time later in direct response to the former. Each pairing provides a psychological snapshot of a state of being together with a symbolic, and/or narrative representation of its likely source. Schirmer will also present a selection of new large scale work on black paper.
Here is a sample from the tiny drawing series:
Pair 1: Twinning devices
Pair 2: Yes, No
Pair 3: Ralph takes over from Poor Horsey at 28 degrees
Pair 4: Radioactive Wheelchair Coupling
This new series specifically relates to my condition, Dissociative Identity Disorder. In other words, the spontaneous drawings on white paper reveal what I want to say to myself about which alter or alter grouping is “out” (or inhabiting the body) at the moment, and why. The drawings on black paper, created later, explore the origins of the alter configurations, or the instances of abuse that created them. If all of this sounds completely obtuse, please see my activist site: LynnsArt.net or read the fabulous article by Brian Moss on the DIDiva site.
