Trace forms part of a series of work that explores the complex relationship between absence and presence via the medium of the artist’s body. Powders are applied to the artist’s skin to leave traces of the human body, resulting in mysterious and haunting images that memorialise what was once present. Coble’s interest in the themes of loss and decay, and in particular the curious simultaneity of absence and presence, have been influenced by poetry and philosophy.
