A pair is suspended by a parallel mount of white shells, a white framework that encircles a flock of dashed, green, red and blue diagonals. Each pair host its own chaotic flock of verticals and horizontals naming every intersection of vertices with a cipher, the crest of each vertex reads: BOT 0 + BP2 , P1SK+TP2 , INT L.SKY P1 … an infinite field of codes. Their meaning remains unknown to me. My only clues parade in the left corner of pair left and the right corner of pair right; left revels a water mark: Stathmore 400 Bristol. Right spells Preston Scott Cohen 1993. Left Pair stands considerably less saturated than Right Pair; nevertheless, they both array their verticals with equal elegance and pride. Their velvet white paper appears etched by hand made lines, each line with its purpose, each line with a direction. The blues face west and east as the reds face north and south. The pencil verticals don’t face, they direct. The pencil dashes shape the depth of each pair; they blend the reds, greens and blues in tandem. Stand and face the pair shift your eye from left to right, from pair to pair. Yes, there is a lot of white, look past it. Walk closer take two steps, then three, face them both with your face 5 inches away from the glass. Only then will you be able to trace the dashes, follow a dash, follow it until the graphite line becomes olive green. Now follow the green ink until it becomes a cyan blue stroke. Each stroke will escort you to a new stroke; obey each one of them until the five´s the two´s and the plus signs make you woozy. Now take three steps back, take two more; face the pair of line drawings framed in white... Do you see the geometric volumes now?
