About The Artwork
Chaotic order—turbulent, swirling layers of grey and black ink figures drawn on top of more ink figures. Order in the chaos. Symmetrical, geometric individual figures patiently and intricately drawn from thousands of individual line plots. "The Chaos Myth", 20x30 inches, grey and black pigment ink on bristol board. I make machines to help me make drawings… gears moving inside gears help guide my pen to draw the fluid curving lines of my drawings. Complex and intricate art ranging from simplistic modern minimalism to chaotic abstract expressions of some other kind of abstraction. Math is pervasive throughout my work, omnipresent, though also very beside the point. My pen maps the motion of a mechanical matrix. Equations could perform a similar task... thus my pet name for my art, Parametric Drawing

Going round-and-round is the central principle and action of Mary Wagner’s drawing practice. At the core, these drawings are simple, curvilinear paths arching about some absent center like an interstellar object flirting about a gravity well. The rigorous lines warm and complicate through repetition. Patterns pile on top of each other. The slim edge takes on form and depth, like cotton candy wisps or subatomic particles, cohering into something a bit more solid. Value and texture suggest dimension and movement. These things coax and combine into a sort of non-subject; or a subjective subject matter, inviting the viewer to project themselves. They are exercises in minimal purity, or expressions of chaos and order. They are complicated networks or psychedelic dreamscapes. Wagner was born and raised in rural Wisconsin. She lives and draws in Chicago. Her artwork is in private collections around the world.
