Senza titolo (Untitled), 1985, is a large blue drawing on heavy paper that rests on a tall, narrow table made of metal shelving. The portrait is built up from layers of lines and marks, suggesting an exercise that is both spiritual and physical, keyed toward exploring the dimensions of open-ended systems and boundless space. The artwork does not consist only of the drawing, but also of its “home.” The drawing leans casually against the wall and sits on a piece of furniture, a placement that suggests impermanence and domesticity rather than a lofty museum display.
