Machine and Typewriter Drawings
The machine and typewriter drawings deal with the idea of repetition in two-dimensional space. Repetition of gesture -stamp- as a way to deal with the featureless expanse of a blank sheet of paper; to manually construct a neutral plane as a conceptual starting point for creation. The first "drawing" functions as a sort of manifesto for the drawings that followed. It lays out that creation of a neutral plane -meaninglessness- requires the careful (manual?) arrangement of individual elements.
