Performance Piece

1jp34z

So I made a gif of a sequence that I shot of me sketching a small flower. To me, the performance quality came from when I made the gif because you can actually see the process of me drawing yet it is still not a full video of how each piece of the flower was created. I also decided to reverse the gif, which in itself is a sort of performance because it looks as if the pencil is erasing the lines it drew, but from the point rather than the eraser. What I thought seemed interesting is that flowers are often seen as a symbol of growth, but the way the gif is reversed it combats that idea that flowers are that symbol.
