MARK WALLINGER







I recently visited Mark Wallinger exhibition at the Baltic. I loved the simplicity of his concept and the checkerboard with 65,536 stones laid out precisely in each square I related to (I love organisation)

The Other Wall - where each brick is numbered by hand prior to construction and then distributed with no order. Only when looking close up I appreciated the numbering on each brick. The wall has added to my fascination with bare brick walls and the simple line and pattern within this. After seeing this exhibition alongside my imagery taken in Berlin I definitely want to start exploring drawing using this as an initial theme.
