SCROLL 
​

​A performance piece by artist Ayessha Quraishi from her show "Letters From An Underground Vein Read".
​
The artist rolls a 98'x 42" scroll towards herself, revealing the quote "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." (Carl Jung) printed beneath it.
​
It's a 10 minute performance, in dead silence, except for the sound of the scroll moving across its base; the sound of friction. What transpires is a meditative, mesmerising set of motions. The work is oil on paper, primarily applied by the artist's hands. It was completed in October 2012.​
