Curving yellow ink lines and black ink lines create a minimalist circle shape with a central core. The continuous lines are in the form of an epitrochoid, 2 sets of yellow lines and 1 set of black lines. "Yellow Haze", 28x28 inches, pigment ink pen on Borden & Riley #116 Drawing paper, 90 lb acid-free. I make machines to help me make drawings… gears moving inside gears help guide my pen. The gears are necessary to draw the fluid curving lines of my drawings. Complex and intricate art ranging from simplistic modern minimalism drawings to chaotic abstract artworks. Math is pervasive throughout my work, omnipresent, though also beside the point. My pen maps the motion of a mechanical matrix. Equations could perform a similar task... and describe similar forms on a Euclidean plane. Thus my pet name for my art, Parametric Drawing. So the wheel turns while I draw at the intersection of abstraction and some other kind of abstraction.

Going round-and-round is the central principle and action of Mary Wagner’s drawing practice. At the core, these drawings are simple, curvilinear paths arching about some absent center like an interstellar object flirting about a gravity well. The rigorous lines warm and complicate through repetition. Patterns pile on top of each other. The slim edge takes on form and depth, like cotton candy wisps or subatomic particles, cohering into something a bit more solid. Value and texture suggest dimension and movement. These things coax and combine into a sort of non-subject; or a subjective subject matter, inviting the viewer to project themselves. They are exercises in minimal purity, or expressions of chaos and order. They are complicated networks or psychedelic dreamscapes. Wagner was born and raised in rural Wisconsin. She lives and draws in Chicago. Her artwork is in private collections around the world.
