Untitled

Kazuko Miyamoto Japanese

Not on view

Untitled is a drawing from about 1973 that relates to the three-dimensional constructions made of string and nails that Miyamoto was creating during the same decade. Like strands of thread pulled taut between two points, the lines of the drawing, rendered in pink, blue, and black ink, all sprout from distinct nodes towards the top of the page. The nodes act as points along thirteen different, parallel line segments. As the lines descend downward, they converge into a single plane comprised of dense, overlapping, multi-colored strokes, all of which meet along a single line segment. The effect is suggestive of the organic processes of growth, extension, and blossoming.
