MEET THE ARTIST

“I sketch almost every day as a designer at an architecture firm. It's the perfect medium for quick ideation on my own or with others. I think there's some serious value in acknowledging design artifacts as art objects. To me, it just makes sense to bring these drawings and ideas back to my studio so they can contribute to a larger conversation in the arts other than just being a utility in a particular architectural project; especially when so many of these quick ideas need to be scrapped because it's not appropriate or pragmatic.”

I approach my work in a systematic way. I often begin with some kind of formal or graphical concept I want to explore, which typically becomes the title. From there I might do research or make studies until I can build a logic that defines the piece. Oftentimes it feels like I’m solving a puzzle, trying to make a precise drawing about a precise idea.” – Dylan Rundle
