About the work
This drawing is the result of playing around with acrylic paint – mixing indigo and black, black and blue. I was scraping the paint off the paper to create grid lines through a process of removal. The 3-D character of the lines that makes them look like bars was a nice surprise. The grid is a minimalist device I often return to in my work, but it could also be a reference to confinement. Perhaps here it can be read as a double-barred window, or a reference to lockdown blues? Or all of the above.
