Chandra to Dennis Oppenheim. As Chandra runs a marker along my back, I attempt to duplicate the movement on the wall. Her activity stimulates a kinetic response from my sensory system. She is, therefore, Drawing Trough Me. Sensory retardation make up the discrepancy between the two drawings, and could be seen as elements that are activated during this procedure. Because Chandra is my offspring and we share similar biological ingredients, my back (as surface) can be seen as a mature version of her own ... in a sense, she makes a contact with a future state.
