"Celestial Queen: Sigma", 20 x 20 inches, ink on paper
Ink drawing with 40 line plots, each line plot having 12 loops on the perimeter, 480 loops total representing the number of revolutions of my drawing wheel. Each successive line plot spirals clockwise in even increments creating an overlapping nautilus patterning.

"Celestial Queen: Sigma", 20 x 20 inches, black pigment ink on bristol board, acid-free, ph neutral. Drawing diameter is approx. 15-1/4 inches (38.7 cm) at the widest point. 

The companion drawing to this one is "Dark Star: Sigma" it is drawn with the same line plot patterns in an aligned configuration.

My "Serial Drawings"... a series of serials really... present every permutation allowed by my drawing apparatus within a set of given parameters. Each series is a family of drawings. Individuals yes, but with shared characteristics that present in various permutations. Each drawing follows a specific set of executional instructions.

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.
