About the work
Zeros and O’s continues the series of drawings I make on found stationery, setting up a tension between the mass-produced and the handmade. Normally I title the works matter-of-factly, using the name of the place where the paper was found or purchased, and I tend to think of the repetitive drawn elements simply as ‘circles’. But as I was making this work for Drawing Room, it occurred to me that a circle is also both a zero, an elemental nothing, and an interjection, Oh! – or the more archaic O!
