Reynolds’ unpretentious process and modest media consist simply of drawing in pencil, ink, and watercolor on paper. The results are an explosion of linear inquiry and discovery of relationships. These relationships are based in geometry, which one might think would inhibit intuitive discovery. The relevance that Reynolds brings to this discussion is as an artist. In these recent drawings, he has focused on order in increasingly chaotic conditions, resulting in stunning analytical drawings.

“The work develops as much from an artistic and creative process as from any pre-planned calculations, although the perimeter ratio is always predetermined in order to define the specific geometric system I will be working with. It is through an organic process of overlays, tracings, revisions, exploration, and experimentation with geometric systems—specifically, certain ratios and proportioning systems found in rectangles, squares, and triangles—that I have been able to produce the drawings and paintings presented here.” —Mark Reynolds
