The one large abstract drawing here, wedged precisely in between the ceiling and floor, explores a relationship between geometric form and explorative mark-making. The light touch is enticing, but the sketchy linework feels too beholden to the diagonal lines and ovals as if loosely re-tracing them. The sculpture suffers a similar fate. Lassos dyed in subtle colors are arranged on a screen-like steel armature — letting the curves fall where they may. These, too, are torn between the physicality of their material and their careful presentation. The natural dynamism of
lassos happen in three dimensions—in two, they are just ropes.
