Drawing-Asymmetries
1961
"I have never ceased to believe that art must open up to the world and lite by including everyday objects, gestures, and words." (Mac Law)
Musician and poet Jackson Mac Law began ta merge his two practices after his exchanges with John Cage in 1953. ln the Drawing-Asymmetries series, lines and commands deconstruct and reconstruct language, using alternative syntaxes and incorporating empty spaces that function as silences: "I feel it is particularly important to use longer silences than those sanctioned by
tradition, for these allow the ambient sound environment ta be integrated into the execution of a given piece".
