Page 41 - Drawing 1973-1980

A horizontal fold is set ins square piece of white canvas. The outline of a second square
is subsequently cut from the canvas surrounding the fold.
This square is filled in with black oil pastel while the fold is kept closed. When the
canvas is hung the fold falls open.
The lamination of the crayon on the canvas becomes visible when the fold has fallen
open, revealing a piece of blank canvas and thereby a segment of the original form.
This blank space also pulls the black square open into two segments. A duality of form
arises. The sagging of the lowest part of the square is visually reinforced by a twisting
movement created by the gradual narrowing of the fold.
