Perfect Circle Triangle Square


Perfect Circle Triangle Square, 2013; Hand-made Book; 11 x 8½ x ¾“

First, I ruled out a perfect example of a circle, a triangle, and a square in the exact center of a letter size sheet of paper. The base measurement of each shape was determined by the length of my hand from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. I then tried to draw these shapes again but this time freehand – one of each, each day, for months. I was trying to draw them exactly the same size in the exact center of the paper, as in the “ideal” examples. After 207 attempts I copied the “perfect” shapes over my drawings. I was very close in some of them, in others I was way off.
