One Person's Trash…

Siobhan Cooke keeps track of things: dates, schedules, and attendance. She has an ongoing tally inside her head, and can be consulted to remember birthdays and to report on where anyone might be on a given day. Siobhan also has a photographic memory when it comes to images, and renders what she sees despite challenges with her vision. Siobhan must lean just inches from the work being produced and yet maintains a balance of perspective and scale. She prefers to work with thick pastels or fine point marker and pencil using a loose, gestural mark.
