Some incredible drawings

I was once an art student, many many moons ago, who had an interest in a fairly minimal, abstract mode of drawing. Just as a background to where my interest in the following links come in, here a couple of images from an installation i did in my final year:

As a bit of further background, some work of the artist Daniel Zeller, which was a big inspiration for me at the time:

I got sent a couple of links to some interesting blogs that seem to be dedicated to this kind of thing, but i will pre-empt jumping into that seemingly endless void by pointing some of the things that jumped out at me.

Firstly, from But Does it Float, a series of amazing process drawings by Rosemarie Fiore based on the simple premise making a pinball leave traces of its path on a game of Evel Knievel pinball. It’d be interesting to know what the scores were!

Secondly, from the Space Collective site, i found these works by Sam Messenger, which are just incredible in their topographic density, especially the ones drawn in white on black. Some of his ‘flatter’ drawings also remind me of Sol LeWitt’s ballpoint line drawings, while the Spirograph drawings remind me of my art lecturer Alan Alborough‘s recent Size Ten exhibition.

And then finally, via Data Is Nature and Drawn, some incredible map-based drawings by Emma McNally.
