Carbon Dust Drawings
2012
These images are of some recent carbon dust drawings where I draw dust with dust.
Top Image: “Carbon Dust Box”, 2012. Carbon dust drawing of my box of carbon dust.
Middle Image, left: “Dust”, 2012. Carbon dust drawn replica of a charcoal rubbing I took off a Dust family tombstone in Bruno, Saskatchewan.
Middle Image, right: “Joseph Dust”, 2012. Another carbon dust drawn replica of a rubbing I took off a Dust family tombstone in Bruno - this tombstone was so eroded that the engraved name didn’t show up in the rubbing.
Bottom Image, left: “Stardust Grains” 2012. Carbon dust drawing of interstellar dust particles.
Bottom Image, right: “Comet Wild 2 Dust Impact Crater”, 2012. Based on the Stardust Mission (which I volunteer for) research images.
The bottom four drawings were included in my exhibition As the Dusts Settle at Mercer Union in November, 2012. I took the title for this show from a book of the same name that traces the Dust family history in Bruno, Saskatchewan.
More images from this exhibition can be seen here.
