"'Spectrum' is about the hope of finding common ground from polarities
... it's a work of contrasts and opposites. It’s also me making jest of
my usual, uptight drawing method ... it’s me metaphorically throwing
paint at myself. A dose of spontaneity. An abandonment of control. Chance and
randomosity embraced. The bulk of my work is planned, practiced and
patient." - Mary Wagner
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
At the quantum level, Mary Wagner’s drawings are simple, fluid, curvilinear paths arching around some absent center like an interstellar object flirting about a gravity well. The lines warm and complicate through repetition. Patterns pile on top of each other. The slim edge of the pen takes on form and depth like cotton candy wisps or subatomic particles. Value and texture suggest dimension and movement. These things coax and combine into a sort of "non-subject" or subjective subject matter... inviting viewers to project themselves. They are exercises in minimal purity, or expressions of chaos and order. They are complicated networks or psychedelic dreamscapes. Both pretty eye candy and quasi-sciencey, mathiness.
