Giclee, Pastel And Rubber Stamp On Vintage Toilet Paper
Edition of
Dimensions (WxH): 20 x 30cm
Stig Evans' interest in the use of ‘vintage’ toilet paper for these works is primarily material: the contrast or tension between the paper’s objectness and the illusionistic effects created through printing, collage and mixed media processes. At the same time, the material carries a range of associations, not least the suggestion of intrinsic disposability.
The works form part of a series in which two sheets, positioned one above the other, provide the basic grid structure. Each pair is treated in subtly different ways, prompting a comparative reading, while stamped indexes evoke journal pages or archived documents.
The artist typically works across multiple individual sheets simultaneously using mixed media, including, drawing, painting , stamping and monoprinting to create a kind of archive. The sheets are pulled from the original box as the work progresses and, although produced with care, are made without preciousness, thereby retaining their sense of disposability. A deliberate curatorial process then follows, in which the sheets are selected and paired. At this stage, a shift in value occurs, with typically only one pairing ultimately being chosen for display.
