Art I like - Jane Dalton

Jane obtained her BA in drawing in 2009. Above is "Light Material", 2010; read about her "Dark Matter" diptych here."Jane Dalton’s drawings are concerned with the repetition and symmetries found within the natural world. The blank ‘page’ is transformed by her slow accumulation of small, repeated marks. Each mark is meticulously placed, distinct and separate – there are no collisions. The painstaking work invites a slow reading. Time is needed to unravel and interpret the ambiguous surfaces."

Also, she says on her website: "My aesthetic is austere. I often use a very small dot or line. This references both the Islamic Geometers initial mark - a symbol of 'source' or 'origin' and the unimaginably small point or 'singularity' from which the universe expanded."
