Untitled (I) and Untitled (III), 2019, Ink on handmade paper
Bethany Freeman focusses on lines and uniform patterns that can be found all around us in the world. She acknowledges how our brains want to see these, even when they are not present. Over the past year, her drawings have focussed on these ‘undrawn’ patterns – images that aid our brains to see lines that have not actually been drawn!
Her process allows for imperfections, emphasising the irregularity of a hand-drawn image. Overlaying hundreds of intricately drawn ink lines, Freeman creates large compositions which hold detailed and delicate forms.
