Drawing Time

August 28 to September 8, 2023
As part of “A Hole in the Ground” project

Sandhills Park, Kitchener, Ontario

In “Drawing Time” artist Linda Duvall sat by a grave-sized hole in the park and engaged in the act of drawing her surroundings, her thoughts, the inspirations from her co-collaborators. Each act of markmaking, once completed, was contained or sealed, symbolically disappearing. This process emphasizes the impermanence of each moment, echoing the ephemeral quality of human existence. Each stroke of Duvall’s pen became a visual testament to the transient nature of time, capturing moments that remain unseen after the performance ends.

Duvall does not have a history with drawing, so each mark was part of a discovery or an ongoing conversation with the hole for her.

Duvall was present in the park from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, and then from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
