Untitled (book 29, sketch 21)
Begun in 2013, this series includes around 700 drawings to date, many of which were the starting points for sculptures in the series “Drawings in Three Dimensions” and “Chromatics.” An experiment in pareidolia, the sketches are repeated tests of the hypothesis that any meaningless mark, when repeated or given structure, will evoke tangible objects in the real world. I begin each sketch with a few abstract black marks on a white page. Like solving puzzles, I translate the initial marks into a visual law which governs the remainder of the drawing. The resulting compositions, which only inspire names upon completion, range from organic shapes like those found in biological structures to minimalist lines and geometric forms.
