Macartney, Ralph
"'Bannana' came about when I was sitting in my studio space at college questioning how a drawing is made: the link between eye, brain, arm and hand. Attempting to replicate something that exists in the world onto paper seemed somewhat of a meaningless task, given that no amount of realism seemed to account for seeing the object in its true physical state. In order to investigate this further, I set up an environment to test my ability as a human to recreate through drawing what I could see, and used the camera to record the experiment."
