Mehretu, and Ethiopian born artist, creates large drawings. Her work is a response to city environments, the internet and the overwhelming layers of data that we live with and in today...
Her drawings are created by layering marks over a period of time. The marks are varied in size, shape, and transparency.... Some of the marks are traced from architecture, maps or other images.
The resulting effect is a "cloud" of lively marks, some you can identify, others remind you of feelings or actions. The work changes as you view it from different distances...
