Mneme XVI: Learning to Draw

1989

Inspired by acquiring a vintage Jon Gnagy “Learn to Draw the Police Dog” kit, this installation featured the kit displayed on a fabricated desk and chair (based on furniture hand-made by my grandfather), along with a sadly drawn attempt at following the directions. The TV emitted a flickering blue light and a continuous audio loop of German shepherds barking.
