This drawing shows a long, flat building with bold red and teal stripes on its side. Below it, four simple cube shapes sit in a row, each labeled with a number. The background is covered in graph paper, and there’s handwritten text in pencil around the edges. Some of the writing is crossed out, and the whole thing feels like a sketch mixed with notes. The artist used colored pencils or crayons for the building’s stripes, making them stand out against the gray lines of the graph paper. The cubes look like they’re part of a plan or study, maybe for how the building should look from different angles. Next, check out Paul Sharits to see more of his experimental work.
