On light beige paper, an electric guitar, microphone, and amplifier coalesce in a delicate, semi-abstract Cubist-inspired explosion of line. No solid forms or heavy shading anchor the objects; instead, thousands of precise, overlapping graphite strokes—short hatches, cross-hatches, confident contours, and angular intersections—fracture and reassemble the setup into a web of interwoven planes.
The guitar dominates the center, presented vertically: body, neck, headstock, tuning pegs, pickups, and bridge are clearly legible yet deconstructed—overlapped by sharp rectangular shards suggesting amp grille, speaker cabinets, and mic stand. Angular fragments tilt, intersect, and penetrate one another, creating a dense, floating architecture where parts of one instrument bleed into another. The composition is loosely framed by intersecting lines, with the greatest energy and overlap at the core; toward the edges, strokes thin and open, allowing the arrangement to breathe into the surrounding paper.
The restrained monochromatic palette—varied grays from faint silvery traces to deeper velvety clusters—builds volume, depth, and subtle texture purely through line density and direction. No areas are filled solid; every sense of mass and shadow emerges from meticulous accumulation.
Notice how the densest central intersections pull the eye inward to the guitar’s throbbing core, then scatter it across overlapping planes and outward fragments—creating rhythmic tension between recognizable still-life and abstract disassembly, containment and dispersal.
A standalone graphite drawing (with echoes of Cubist deconstruction and the Force of Nature series), this piece reimagines rock gear not as static tools but as dynamic, memory-fractured forces: instruments caught mid-transformation, vibrating with latent sound in a dreamlike studio haze.
How does this intricate web of overlapping lines—dense and architectural at the center, opening toward the edges—stir your sense of latent volume, musical memory, or the poetry of objects deconstructed into pure, breathing line?
Technical notes.
