This sheet is covered in tiny pencil sketches of simple shapes—triangles, squares, and lines—all neatly arranged in a grid. Some shapes are flipped or connected in odd ways, with handwritten notes like *"all same 4 points 4 connections"* scribbled nearby. The background is graph paper, and the drawings look like quick experiments, some with dots marking exact spots. The notes suggest Bartlett was testing how shapes behave when points or edges match up. It’s like a math puzzle mixed with doodles, all on the same page. Check out Jennifer Bartlett to see how she turned simple ideas into big art.
