SCHEMA No. 1

Schema No. 1
Graphite on handmade paper
15” x 19”
2006

This drawing’s composition was determined by combination of a medieval page design schema and the tracing of the piece torn off from the corner in 24 random positions. The resulting lines were then filled in with graphite, the only rule being that two areas of the same value could not share a border. I am still trying to figure out how to make an interesting book using this idea.

“Delamination” is a process of cutting part of the way into a sheet of paper and peeling away about half of the layers, leaving a very shallow relief and a view of the paper’s interior. This print was made by stenciling the text in the middle, and then having my left hand (non-dominant for me) inked up while I was tracing that text with a Xacto knife.
