Three Pairs

  New work this week includes three pairs of drawings for some odd reason.
  The two drawings on blue are a commission, reworking an old idea but now on blue watercolor stained paper. Making the connection between these isometric-like drawings and blue-prints quite clear.
  The other two pairs are really a case of one drawing being not quite enough practice to work out the beginning of an idea properly. Two drawings help to clarify what one is after conceptually and makes evident some of the technical issues one will run into.
   The grid on the speckled paper had me in mind of star charts or NASA moon photographs, the notion of mapping something disorderly. Order out of chaos.
  The graphic black and white drawings at the bottom come from my experimenting with a new black paint called 'Black 2.0'. It is marketed as the second darkest black - Anish Kapoor has a monopoly on the blackest black, but this one is very dark and shows almost no brush marks.
