Look Inside

9" Diameter

Pencil on Paper

This round drawing is made of varied linework, including geometric as well as curvilinear shapes.  Several circles can be found in this image, creating the border of, at several points within, and some even masked by the piece.  Towards the center of the drawing, there is a circular line of characters resembling text.

Several elements of this piece give it a ritualistic theme - the geometric lines along with the central inscription are similar to circles found in some shamanistic and pagan ceremonies.  The simple shapes used (triangles, circles, and the like) are used to represent the methodical process of creating a circle such as this one.  With no previous plan in mind beforehand, the artist relied on instinct and inspiration to create this drawing.
