The new work I have developed pushes the tradtional
form of the grid into a black and white fractal - an orgnic,
tonal order. Working in black and white is about the
subtletyof tone as opposed to the constructs of hue. The
blackness of the graphite powder I work with sits provoc
atively on the surface of the polystyrene - and the graphite's
natural quality infuses an independent motion into the grid
I work through. The grid by its very nature, commands a
scale, which compelled me to work with oversized polystyrene
sheet commonly used in backlit advertising - the building
materials of the commercial grid. Between black and white,
there are only 256 shades of tonal gray available to the naked eye.
