Note:
This drawing began as an idea of filling up a sheet of paper with circles, perfectly lined up on a grid and
touching each other. The concept itself
in its perfection is the first of these drawings and exists only
in the mind. The second drawing was executed with a compass as carefully
as possible, which nonetheless is less than perfect by virtue of
its nature. The third
drawing was done by freehand. For each additional drawing thereafter,
I attached the pen to a progressively longer rod to further
impede my ability to execute the drawing according to its original
concept. The last drawing was completed with a six-foot pole. I discovered that I unintentionally traversed
the ideological distance between LeWitt and de Kooning by
simply completing my task. |
