Tipping Point

Digital print

Size: 54×36”

Year: 2019

A series of drawings where the artist uses her body as the pivotal point within the work. The marks on the surface are made with Peerna literally tipping over into the work. At the moment of the loss of balance, the pencils and eraser make marks on the surface of the paper. Peerna marks the mylar with her fall with her eyes closed. This action is repeated a number of times. An intimate studio piece, the drawing references Peerna’s more public performances. The work is inspired by the tipping points and feedback loops examined in climate studies. A tipping point in the climate system specifically refers to a threshold that, when exceeded, can lead to large changes in the state of the system.
