Untitled
Lynne Woods Turner
American, born 1951
(2000)
A small square pencil on Chinese paper drawing of tightly worked concentric marks in which the artist uses patient, repetitive strokes to make the act and duration of drawing visible.
From a distance it reads as a soft, muted gray field, but up close you notice thousands of tiny, slightly elliptical pencil loops that shimmer and pulse around a subtle vertical seam at the center.
By reducing image to steady, manual repetition, Turner links drawing to Minimalism and Process art, emphasizing labor, time, and perception through a deceptively simple, meditative surface.
