Caretaker

(Glyph Drawing No. 5)

Charcoal and graphite on paper

18 x 24 inches

The suggestion of a figure emerges from subtle shifts in geometric composition and texture, building on the established grid framework: a leaning figure, reaching down, perhaps extending a hand. The work reflects on the search for meaning in abstraction, where interpretations arise ex post facto — the balance of forms seeks to evoke both curiosity and introspection.
