This drawing is from a group of eight works referencing the artist’s studio in Rindge, NH. The architecture of the studio is portrayed through the empty space of the composition while the line work shows a sculpture by the artist from the late 1970s. Four of the drawings in the group depict a single sculpture from different vantage points while the remaining four show another sculpture which is the mirror image of the first and currently held in the collection of the Dia Art Foundation, Beacon, NY.
I’m interested in working in that area in which the mind can no longer hold on to things. The point at which all ideas fall apart.... A piece made with just a few lines at first appears very purist and geometrical. My work isn’t either one of these things. They are not instances of a system or order larger than themselves....Awareness of existing local order is my interest, as opposed to the creation of a different order.
