“Self-Erasing Light Drawing” was part of a series of kinetic sculpture works that collectively explored the idea of ever-changing environments. Finding common ground with Mona Hatoum’s “Self-Erasing Drawing,” the piece replaced conventional artists’ tools (pencil and paper, paint and canvas) with a motorized spiral staircase and a half circle of light emanating from above that was continually erased by the shadow of the steps which comprised the spiral form. The sculpture mechanized the practices of mark-making and erasure, evoking polarities of existence and disappearance, building and destroying. The piece only existed in maquette form and was later dismantled due to the recognition that the scope of the project would probably not be realized.
