Vija Clemins’s renderings of limitless space and seascapes. Armed with a graphite pencil (yeah. they’re drawings), her palette of gradations of black and gray perform patience: the artist’s patience in creating it, and ours in viewing it.

These pictures are actually Clemins’ source photos, not her drawings and paintings. Some of her work was shown at LACMA earlier this year. To be honest I think I like the photos cropped, taped and marked on better than the work she made from them!
