The “Drawing Roll; Start Here, May 2010” is a pencil drawing on a 3 inch high by 165 foot long paper cash register roll. As of date, it is a work in progress that began in May 2010 and depicts my travels through the summer, starting with a journey to Ireland and a residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre. Like Robert Barker, the Irish artist in 1787 who first patented the invention of the panorama, my paper cash register roll has served as the perfect device to maintain a continuous and unfolding narrative. I have discovered when drawing on such a strangely elongated format, that I only need unroll the paper and keep turning to my right to eventually circle and delineate a full 360 degrees of the landscape. So far, the nearly 20 foot length of drawing shown here continues through my small town of Orange, Virginia and a trip to New York City. The drawing will be completed once I return to Ireland and the Tyrone Guthrie Centre next June, 2011.
