Alignment Instruments
Paintings by Mark Warren JacquesThese paintings move at a human pace. Earth tones, softened by wear, hold intricate line work that drifts toward abstraction. Each small field is built slowly, line beside line, until a quiet grain appears. The surfaces read like maps or textiles. Up close, the patterning steadies the eye and keeps it near. From a step back, the whole settles into a calm register.
Alignment is the aim. Looking becomes the practice. The longer you stay, the more the tiny decisions reveal their rhythm. These works are meant as simple instruments you can tune against, inviting a brief sense of order that you carry with you.
The frames for this body of work are constructed from reclaimed materials, each hand-carved from a single piece of wood by James Busch Woodcraft.
