A drawing in ink, colored ink, and pencil on graph paper that arranges repeated oval “capsules” filled with small circles and bold plus/minus marks to explore rhythm, order, and accumulation.
Your eye is pulled between floating, dark‑rimmed ovals—each packed with tiny green dots and a stark cross or bar—set against a vibrating, stippled field of red and blue circles that makes the whole page buzz like a loosely mapped organism.
Working on modest graph paper, the piece links minimalist, system‑based strategies and obsessive repetition to a more intimate, almost biological form of mark‑making, anticipating later crossings of drawing, data visualization, and ritualized process.
