Yes, this crazy world does have one thing doing what it's supposed to do, even if it is the odd ceramic funnel suspended on a string. Next, Odegaard has hung a series of vellum and graphite works along the wall that are far more subtle than the blue cone bombs behind. In most of the pieces in the series, one sheet of vellum inlaid over another. The top sheet has shapes cut out. The bottom has shapes drawn on it.
Thread binds the two sheets together.
The object of this game is to line up the shapes between the sheets. When the cutouts and drawings line up, their soft colors in harmony, everything is satisfyingly perfect and symmetrical. When they don't line up, your mental eye struggles to find the balance. Strangely, in these pieces the dark graphite lines bleed through the vellum, creating an elegant effect. Perhaps they show us that life can be beautiful even when not cleanly executed.
