Amy Myers: Quantametronics: Large-Scale Drawings

Using only ink and graphite, Chicago-based Amy Myers creates wall-sized drawings of pseudo-scientific imagery. Her complex, curvaceous forms recall 19th-century illustrations of futuristic machines, or magnified diagrams of molecules, organs, or parts of organisms. They are simultaneously mechanical and organic, antiquated and technological, scientific and sexual.

The drawings stem from a theory of particle physics developed by the artist. Symbolic and transformative, the images exist in a state of perpetual potential — “infinite possibilities and configurations not bound by physicality or linear thinking.”

This is the first solo exhibition for Myers.
