About this artwork

Mathieu Lauweriks made this drawing for a jewel box, probably with graphite on paper. It's a process-oriented piece, where you can almost see him thinking through the geometry. Look at how the pencil lines aren't trying to hide; they're right there, showing the math behind the shape. The circles and lines create a sense of depth, like you could fall into the design. There is a softness in the marks, despite the rigidity of the geometry. It reminds me of Hilma af Klint’s diagrams, not in style, but in the way both artists use geometry to explore something beyond the surface. It's like they're trying to map out something spiritual or unseen through these precise, careful drawings. Art isn't always about answers; sometimes, it's about the questions.
