Last year Bruno Bressolin, a painter, graphic artist, and photographer in Paris, became obsessed by the effects of natural disaster and human conflict.

Hurricane Sandy proved to be his tipping point, so on October 30, 2012, he began a marathon art project. When I asked about an installation he had in Paris this fall, he wrote:

it's a one year diary 

more than 400 drawings now on my table

beginning with hurricane sandy and finishing with the violence of the RDC [democratic republic of the congo] civil war ...

listening every day at seven in morning to the first news on radio

not only the reportage, but also features ...

I would make some notes while drinking my coffee

and after that i would make one or two big drawings on paper 
with just china ink and water..

this was the deal I made with myself ...

i worked the job every day, for one year including sundays and 
holidays and private life movements ...

Bruno, who is also a book artist, first assembled the collection as a book, Sang d’Encre [which means "worried sick"], above, which he produced on Blurb. He was then invited to create the installation, top, for the juried show, Salon Mac 2000 Paris. Sang d'Encre was one of 126 projects selected from over 2,000 proposals submitted. Bruno Bressolin information.
