Dave Ford: Truck Drawings

@ 1100 Florence

1100 Florence Ave, Evanston, IL 60202

Opening Saturday, June 1st, from 6PM - 8PM

On view through Monday, June 17th

Thrilled to exhibit Dave Ford’s Truck Drawings this June at the gallery. Opening party June 1, 6-8p.

Lines accumulate as Ford drives a 12′ truck with 100 pencil-tipped water bottle pendulums dancing above the paper lined bed. On the road, he checks the drawing, often sharpening pencils, sometimes removing or adding a bottle depending on where he wants a specific quality of marks or textures. After fifteen years and several Truck Drawing projects later, ‘panels’ from separate trips will be shown together for the first time. The burst patterns created by the bottles as Ford drives across the country evoke a grace that simultaneously jars with the truck as medium and flows with the rhythm of travel.
