Terry Monaghan

'Drawing'

From 21st September – 20th October 2008

Using the golden section as a formal point of Classical reference and the mediums of charcoal and graphite as echoes of the origins of mark making, Terry Monaghan’s drawings are about formality and abstraction.

While undertaking an MA in Design in 2003, having practiced graphic design since 1981, the physical act of making a mark became central to acquiring a more fundamental understanding of visual language and communication.

The Golden Rectangle is employed as a means of grounding the work in a formal system of proportion and sets a framework within which to work and given boundaries to explore. The drawings bring together elements of grid and pattern that are both organic and mechanical, primitive and advanced.
