Barriball explores everyday objects through a variety of drawing processes and interventions. In the sequence of pieces titled 'One Square Foot', selected areas of her apartment's wooden floor have been laboriously transferred to paper, akin to a brass rubbing technique. This action has resulted in dense graphite monochromes, yet with very familiar nuances. The instantaneous completeness of the image in some way denies the cumulative nature of the making, yet time and endeavour are very much locked within its handmade surface.
