Meg Hahn 'Drawing Q8'
Drawer 2- Drawing Q8, Oil and colored pencil on paper, approx. 7.5x7.75in, 2020
Artist Statement
I am interested in creating forms that are not made by precise measurement. Rather, with an exactness that is formally driven and produced intuitively. I gather observations from my daily habits and surroundings where I romanticize the subtleties inherently found in their patterns, hues, and shapes. My affection towards the action and aesthetic of making grids and creating pattern, stems from its ability to test pure color next to each other and how its uniform structure allows room to create formal disruption. Lately, I’ve been especially observant of windows, doorframes, and archways, and how these architectural forms relate to abstraction, painting, and the grid.
