The ongoing Fax Drawings series started when I asked a gallery to fax me floor plans to prepare for an installation. I accidentally mis-loaded recycled Xeroxes of my drawings in my fax machine and the result was a combination of the drawings with the floor plans. Normally, I translate the new drawings into large-scale wall pieces exhibited in the space that the floor plans depict. For the X-TRA artist’s project, I utilized four pages of in-progress design layouts faxed to me by the editors.
