linn meyers (b. 1968, Washington D.C.) makes meticulous drawings that hinge on the unique and imperfect quality of the hand-drawn line. Her works are manifestations of human movement through repetitive sequences of dots and lines. meyers welcomes the slippages that occur with the slightest involuntary movements of her body and the delicate patterns that emerge over time. Her practice explores ideas of impermanence, as many of her labour-intensive wall drawings are ultimately painted over, leaving only the documentation or memories of the work. In this way, the artist’s works on paper become even more central to her practice, emphasizing their presence and objecthood.
