John Andrews: and or but

JOHN ANDREWS makes paintings from beeswax and pinpricks. Grids of points are marked on wax surfaces and subtle color is rubbed into the indentations. The grids are laid one on top of another. Each grid, mathematical and rigid, obscures and blurs the grids beneath. The geometry of the grid becomes swirling, amorphous clouds and what begins as order becomes mesmerizing chaos.
