About The Artwork
This is the second in a series of charcoal and pencil drawings, sized 128 x 128 cm, with a border of 5.5 cm, made on 240 drawing paper. These paintings are paradigmical, in the sense that their premises and composition depends to a large degree upon decisions made by reference to a series of digits of the number pi in hexadecimal formulations. Each paintiing is made up of 16 stripes, drawn with charcoal of differing density..In this series the direction of each stripe, its density, location, and width are determined by pi. The idea behind the method, of repeated overlays of dense charcoal, is inspired by a chapter in W.G. Sebald's The Emigrants.
