Danica Phelps - August 6th
Biografía del Artista: Danica Phelps' work follows conceptual precedents not only in taking the economy as an object of work, but also in the practice of data collection, of exhaustiveness, of that record-keeping of events that has characterized a good part of conceptual practices. Since 1996, Danica Phelps has documented all her income and expenses through her drawings, in a system that progressively grows in lines of work and complexity. In this system, each drawing is a representation of an everyday activity, and a documentation of a financial transaction: each dollar is represented by a single watercolor line, green for income, red for expenses and gray for credit. The result is an immense personal diary, although talking about results is complicated, firstly because the work is still in progress, secondly because the work itself is not so much a work as a trace, a document of pieces of life and everyday life.
Time accumulates in moments that add up to the present, even if we do not remember the details or most of those moments. Each one is impossible without the previous one and brings with it all the others, shaping us in a way similar to the earth and its strata, millions of years of history piled on top of each other. A child becomes more and more manifest with each experience, until he reaches a point where he decides who he wants to be. Founding traces this period of the artist's son's life through a trip through the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The drawings capture the way the artist sees her son growing up, and the lines under each drawing document the expenses of the trip, gasoline, camping, car rental, all carefully plotted. If the lines that represent the artist's expenses and income are always vertical, and have been established as a fundamental element of her practice, in this project they become horizontal, establishing a visual parallelism with the visible strata in the geological formations and the landscape.
