“In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work.” -- Sol LeWitt
This project was inspired by the work of Conceptualism pioneer Solomon "Sol" LeWitt.
Sol worked with various media, but this project explores his wall drawings, where each piece is defined by a set of instructions that are left open to interpretation by other artists that execute the works.
Because of the collaborative nature of these wall drawings, Sol LeWitt's works may appear very different from each other, even for the same set of instructions. This project randomizes the ambiguous properties of each drawing to explore the constraints of each work.
