Fields: Drawing, Illustration, Sculpting

From: Greg Sand's Portfolio

Text-Based Drawings explores the themes of scarcity and abundance as they apply to the nature of thoughts and memory and the anxieties associated with death and time.

Deduct.

Pen on illustration board.

Stream of consciousness writings.

60" x 37.5"

Deduct examines the abundance of humankind's reasoning potential versus the scarcity of the constructive use of this potential. A profusion of chaos and confusion results from the deficiency of rationality and logic.

Deduct. details.

Until Passing.

Chalk on illustration board.

Each tally mark represents one day the artist has been alive.

39" x 29"

Until Passing compares the simultaneous abundance and scarcity of life. Day to day life appears exceptionally extensive, but in the face of time and history it seems rather short.

Until Passing. details.

I am not self-absorbed.

Pen on paper.

29" x 29"

I am not self-absorbed explores denial and its abundance of deception and waste versus its scarcity of truth and progress.

I am not self-absorbed. details.

Imitation.

Etching.

6" x 9"

Imitation investigates the abundance of clutter created by a scarcity of originality. It also deals with the need for an abundance of failed attempts to result in a scarcity of success.

Imitation. detail.

Untitled.
Liquid Paper on book.

6" x 4.5" x 1"

Untitled examines the abundance of history and human experience compared to the scarcity of memory. It also deals with the abundance of ignorance that develops from the scarcity of seeking knowledge and information.

Untitled.

Likeness.

Liquid Paper on antique photographs.

11" x 14"

Likeness and Photo Album address the abundance of people that have lived and died versus the scarcity of those that will be remembered.

absence. came to mind as i read your thoughts on your liquid paperr on book.untitled. my thoughts are the liquid paper conceals the details of the past now absent and in a complete void of any knowledge of its existence. deep thoughts, as to what you say here, thanks for the invite:)

Great work. It's hard to make art with words & letters. So often we get trapped in reading it, that we miss the art. You've balanced that really well.
