Description

Drawing by Jill O'Bryan, nm.1.17 (Frottage, graphite on paper, 120" x 72", 2017). The image illustrates a key body of work in Jill O'Bryan's career in the 2000s, when she produced ground rubbings, or frottages, made by laying out large sheets of white paper on the New Mexico mesa, then lying on top of the paper and making rubbings with chunks of graphite to record her corporeal interactions with the land. Reviewers likened these works, variously, to human skin or X-rays, topographical maps or entire landscapes, grave-rubbings, and Australian Aboriginal drawings. O'Bryan's frottages were publicly exhibited in prominent venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work Jill O'Bryan's career that began in 2006: her ground rubbings, or frottages, which she created as a way to connect to and record her corporeal interactions with the New Mexico desert land. These works were made by laying out large sheets of white paper on the mesa, then lying on top of the paper and making rubbings with chunks of graphite to reveal impressions and pull out the texture of the rocks below. Critics suggested that her mark-making in these drawings embedded the landscape into paper (rather than describing it), facilitating its organic emergence from the white surface. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key part of her oeuvre, which brought O'Bryan ongoing recognition through exhibitions in major venues and coverage by major critics and publications. O'Bryan's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
