Cory Emma Siegler uses the grid as an underlying structure to create meditative visual networks out of geometry, pattern, and color. Compositions are built from simple shapes that become complex through the use of repetition, and achieve an overall unity and balance in their final form. The drawings are executed by hand from left to right and top to bottom, much like transcribing a block of text. The process is slow and meditative, and once a piece is complete it remains an object to meditate upon. The titles take a cue from concrete poetry and ascii art, and rather than attempt to assign language to the pieces, they utilize keyboard characters to mimic the optical language of the drawings themselves.
