“We started this project really quickly and I did little more than retrieve a drawing I’d made for a series of sculptures some years ago. The drawing was made on a sheet of isometrically-ruled graph paper, allowing me to play with the conventions of depicting three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. I carved such a grid from one block, and on another four I carved images which depict monolithic building-like objects at a variety of scales. We printed the latter four on top of the grid in contrasting colour and in a slightly misregistered position. The colour we mixed makes reference to colours we find on ruled paper.”
