Graphite
Graphite and paper. Two of the most basic art materials.
Six artists took these two materials as their starting point.
The decision to limit the making by restricting material
choice is the foundation of this exhibit. We are interested
in the paradox that within limitation lies great freedom.
Aside from material restraint and space considerations
there were no other predetermined factors. Each artist
chooses subject matter, application, scale, and format.
One wall is of the exhibit is devoted to collective works.
Each artist started a piece then passed it to the next
person to add elements until the piece had made a full
circuit.
