About The Artwork

A continuum of lines interconnected together. Two overlapping slightly offset nautilus figures. One black, one blue. "Nautilus Nine" 28x28 inches, Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen india ink and Pigma Micron blue ink on Borden & Riley #234 Paris Paper for Pens, bright white, 108 lb neutral pH. This drawing exhibits pinholes, dents and other evidence of creation. Wagner's drawings are mediated by machines she herself makes. Relatively simple machines... the meshing teeth of gears guide her pen, wheels inside of wheels. Spinning. In our universe everything spins. From the mundane circling of water exiting a drain, to the majestic revolution of our spiraling galaxy, to the minute play of positives and negatives at the core of matter itself. In this way Wagner’s drawing emulate and replicate the mechanics of the universe. Everything revolves around a something.

Going round-and-round is the central principle and action of Mary Wagner’s drawing practice. At the core, these drawings are simple, curvilinear paths arching about some absent center like an interstellar object flirting about a gravity well. The rigorous lines warm and complicate through repetition. Patterns pile on top of each other. The slim edge takes on form and depth, like cotton candy wisps or subatomic particles, cohering into something a bit more solid. Value and texture suggest dimension and movement. These things coax and combine into a sort of non-subject; or a subjective subject matter, inviting the viewer to project themselves. They are exercises in minimal purity, or expressions of chaos and order. They are complicated networks or psychedelic dreamscapes. Wagner was born and raised in rural Wisconsin. She lives and draws in Chicago. Her artwork is in private collections around the world.
