Bill Radawec at Shaheen
Contemporary - Cleveland
Thomas McEvilley
Bill Radawec was living in Los
Angeles when the big
earthquake of 1994 hit. His
apartment developed cracks in
the walls at about 40 places.
He decided to make an art work
of the earthquake damage.
Ascending a ladder, carrying a
drawing board, he drew each of
the cracks in detail and
measured the depths of the
various parts of each fissure,
which were between one and
five millimeters deep. He
marked the corresponding parts
of each drawing with a number,
1 through 5, to indicate the
depth of the fissure at that
exact point.
Then he took sheets of paper
one millimeter thick. On the
first one he drew the
uppermost layer of a crack and
cut it out with an X-acto
knife. Putting another sheet
underneath that one, he drew
the parts that were one
millimeter deep, and cut them
out. Then, with another sheet,
he drew the parts that were
two millimeters deep, cut them
out, and so on. The drawing
was done with pen, pencil and
Wite-Out. Finally each crack
was represented by a stack of
five sheets that replicated
it...
