John Pagnozzi (1985) is an artist working with drawing and writing. John approaches drawing as a haptic experience influenced by immediacy, mood and poetry. His work explores spontaneity as a method for the practice of object making, foregrounding intuition over notions of efficiency and rationalism. Using a material led approach the work functions to deal with the disembodied nature of experience and information exchange, finding meaning in associations amongst everyday materials; crayon, sand, spray paint, house paint, textile. Underlying the work is an interest in the space of communication, the possibilities that arise from ambiguous pictorial spaces and the effects these have for the making of personal and collective meaning.
