About Marieken CochiusInvestigating interactive networks between living organisms in an ecosystem led to the creation of this series of "Welded Drawings" They are the the handmade opposite of 3D printing and laser cutting. Starting with a steel sheet, I “draw” with a Mig welder, and build up reliefs as I go. Nerve or root-like systems and many different marks and textures grow together. Eventually I cut parts of the sheet away with a welder or a cutting torch. The work is mounted a couple of inches away from the wall to create the shadows that are an extension of the work.
