I appreciate mostly the drawings: particularly the study of proportions within a square… imagine a dialogue of thought about containment and escape, balance and asymmetry, perfection and flaw…

Matt Niebuhr(a geometry construction using a compass and straightedge - two circles, constructed from three points each located at random on the page - then divided equally to form additional circles, rendered in poche to represent disks. A circle is a line forming a closed loop, every point on which is a fixed distance from a center point. A disk is a round portion of a plane which has a circular outline)

Studies - something really wonderful about certain studies (a trail of trial and error - in the artist’s mind) - sometimes there is an energy and freshness in them that rivals a final work - that may be the case with these!
I’m considering revisiting the targets iconography in drawing form again while reading up on the perspective use of “targets” from an art history point of view - (Jasper Johns for example)… especially as the 4th of July looms ahead. The targets are to me - first, the result of some relatively simple geometric constructions, originating from an arbitrary position of three points but when combined in a certain way take on other meanings - depending on your point of view.
