By Rachel-Moss-Hogg - MA Fine Art Drawing, Camberwell College of Arts for Walls in Online Places
In this short animation titled ‘Entrenched Resistance’ made by Rachel Hogg in 2020. The artist explores charcoal drawing and stop motion, a process inspired by South African artist William Kentridge and British illustrator William Heath Robinson.
The artist was drawn to the materials of charcoal because of its flexibility, easy manipulation, accessibility and the dynamic edge to black and white drawings. ‘Entrenched resistance’ illustrates the pressures put on plants by climate change and human interference, highlighting their amazing ability to evolve and resist extinction.
The artist's fascination with plant evolution and seed dispersing techniques, led her to investigate the strengths and qualities of plants and the human relationship with plants through telling stories depicting plants as the protagonist.
