Toward What Isn't There is a group of installations that explore geometric abstraction and architectural drawing. The show was held at Gallery Four in 2013, a gallery and artist residence in Baltimore. Each piece was generated specifically for the exhibition space to create moments of architectural expansion.
The colors of the architecture within the works match the floor and wall colors of the space to promote the works' inextricable connection to the particular features of Gallery Four. Heavy black lines frame the entirety of each work as if it was a discrete painting, rather than an endlessly expansive installation. Medium-weight lines emphasize architectural elements within the works as relatively near to the viewer, while light-weight lines establish the limits of the works' receding space. The black lines also indicate the most important space within the work: the space created but left unseen. In each of these pieces, their geometry comes together to create hidden spaces within their frames. At the heart of these works is the possibility that their geometry suggests the expansion of architecture, stimulating the confounding sensations of ambiguous accessibility within a built environment.
