The artwork of
Charles Gaines, GRIDWORK 1974 - 1989 is currently on display at the Studio Museum in Harlem and his work has truly inspired me to re-think the use of graph paper. Below are images of different kinds of projects I have created for workshops all inspired by the beautiful work of Charles Gaines.
As stated on the Studio Museum website: Highly regarded as both a leading practitioner of conceptualism and an influential educator at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Charles Gaines is celebrated primarily for his photographs, drawings and works on paper that investigate systems, cognition and language. His early experiments examined the roles that systems and rule-based procedures play in the construction of forms, objects and meaning. -
