Permutations (unfolding pyramid), pen and colored pencil on overlay paper, 2001

This is a pseudo-isometric drawing from 2001 showing a pyramid form emerging from a cube. this piece went on to be developed as a 2 foot square sculpture in card board that has been lost :( . I plan to remake the sculpture asap. It was a complicated piece with a lot of math to get the angles right but i loved it because of how something so complex could “transform” into a simple cube. each section unfolded to reveal the pyramid. for me i was interested in the idea the that something could unravel infinitely to base materials and still reassemble itself to an original memory driven form.

this piece was drawn on “disney” overlay paper purchased at MGM studios back in the late 80′s. you can see the cut outs at the bottom of the page to attach to a light table. there is also a little disney icon that unfortunately did not fit on the scanner bed, i will photos separately.

p.s. posting has been light of late. first we were on vacation, then we had to get caught up post vacation. now i realize that getting caught up is perhaps a misnomer but i do need to get back on the wagon as there’s a lot more stuff to upload. part of the problem is that i’ve started “making” things again, as the animations that have gone up attest to, but they are but one facet of a four ring circus, i’m also working on drawing again, which really is a first for me in the last decade, and i’m working on some new wooden constructions. the fourth ring is WHAT IT IS, our project space, we have an opening next week featuring Andrew Rigsby’s video work so there’s that all to do too!!!

but i’m also concerned about both the look / feel of the site which i need ot stamp with my creative persepctive and the organization of the site and this archive which is admittedly a little scatter shot a little to random but i’m stil lnot really clear if i want to post thing chronologially as that’s too mcuh of a calendar, so i need ot come up with a way of slotting the disparate posts into sections that work. !!!
