<sup>This work continues my ongoing exploration of transience and mortality within an expanded drawing practice. Drawings of waves and water are installed in a kalawakan grassy plain next to the coastline of San Juan La Union. As each drawing represents a unique unrepeatable mark-making in time, so too is this one-off installation made possible by the gathering community marked by a unique and fleeting golden hour. I have always seen the daily cycle of sunrise and sunset as metaphors for birth and mortality and wanted to capture the sense of tender nostalgia that the colours of dusk brings to me.

The title Sampayan is derived from the Filipino word for an outdoor clothesline where one ‘sampays’ or hangs their washed clothes, which signals also the English word ‘hang’ as an informal gathering amongst friends. This is a participatory artwork which elevates collaborative drawing and breaking of bread as integral to the work itself. The drawings on paper recede amidst the vast backdrop of the landscape and skies wherein the work is located. This work also extends my existing interest in integrating domestic acts of service and labour within my mark-making, first using cleaning brooms and sweeping as an analogue to calligraphy, and here once again the typical act of hanging laundry serves as an alternative method to installing and displaying work.</sup>
