Included in this post are four of my recent drawings (bottom), one of which is from the phone book drawings I mentioned last week. The others are two different grid-formed structures, using linear and curvilinear projections in pen to create the structures. In two (the seemingly blurry ones) I mimicked each line of the grid structure made to attempt to make a 3-D effect (anyone want to lend me some 3-D glasses?). The black and white drawing is made from charcoal on paper that I embossed with a tool of my own creation. The artist I have included is Julie Mehretu, who my work is beginning to resemble, at least in terms of painting. The painting is from her Grey Matter exhibition at the Guggenheim a few years ago. Her imagery is more specific and shows a repertoire of images, ranging from representations of architecture and/or architectural plans to icons and symbols, which, through formal dynamics are made to look 'exploded', or as though a hurricane swept through our material as well as platonic reality.
