untitled (sync #1) 2012_03_15 graphite on paper 23 3/8" x 18" (59.4 x 45.7)cm Matt Niebuhr www.mattniebuhr.com This drawing is one of 12 executed in a series exploring synchronicity where two or more groups of lines are drawn with varied pressure. The graphite lines cascade on the page, each line in response to the next and the next, until a surface or field emerges. Inspired in part by the work of Agnes Martin: “When people go to the ocean they like to see it all day… There’s nobody living who couldn’t stand all afternoon in front of a waterfall. It’s a simple experience, you become lighter in weight, you wouldn’t want anything else. Anyone who can sit on a stone in a field awhile can see my painting. Nature is like parting a curtain - you go into it. I want to draw a certain response like this. … Not a specific response but that quality of response from people when they leave themselves behind, often experienced in nature - an experience of simple joy… the simple, direct going into a field of vision as you would cross an empty beach to look at the ocean.” - Agnes Martin 1966”
