Of Context and Without
2015

Jack Shainman Gallery, New York

Created using charcoal, marker, ballpoint pen ink, and graphite on board and paper. The titles of each drawing work in conversation with the images depicted, asking the viewer which method is more reliable to arrive at meaning: through the provision of context or without?
