• Lot Description
  Afton Love
  Castle Rock
  graphite and beeswax on vellum
  19 x 24 in.
  Courtesy the artist.
  
  Afton Love's work explores meaning through the examination of an individual's relationship with the landscape and confronts viewers with self-reflexive questions about their own existence. The mark-making on vast horizontal surfaces is studied and careful; each crack and curvature formed over eons of erosion is lovingly and meticulously illustrated. When beheld in their entirety, the drawings have no distinct beginning or end: a fragment of a larger space that continues in either direction, perhaps into infinity.
  
  Repetition employed in Love's works implies a multiplicity that feels limitless. Cast tiles and fragmented rock faces propose an archive, a record of a rock’s continuous erosion obsessively preserved. Modularity and the grid, embedded as form and content, further allows that boundlessness is key to the mystery that compels the artist’s project overall and is inextricably linked to the incomprehensibility of time etched within this work.
