1 Grid / Order

It all begins with an act of discipline: a hand-drawn grid drafted across the canvas. It is a physical projection of psychological order. More than a layout guide, it serves as a visual metronome. Establishing a cadence and a rhythm, the grid helps to ensure that the final result is never arbitrary. It provides the baseline that chance can riff on. It preserves an underlying sense of cohesion so that—although it has been shredded to pieces, jumbled, and then reassembled—the canvas vibrates with the clarity of a single image.
