Teo González made this Drawing 34 with ink on paper, and I just love the way it's so incredibly precise. Looking at this meticulously crafted grid, I imagine González patiently dotting each point, each tiny universe. What might he have been thinking? Was he meditating, lost in thought, or simply exploring the delicate dance between order and chaos? It reminds me of the work of Agnes Martin, another obsessive mark maker who found freedom through rigorous constraint. When I look closely at the surface, I see a kind of vulnerability. Each dot is a breath, a moment, an intention, a record of the artist's presence. It is these artists, who are constantly conversing with one another, that inspire me to embrace ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings.
