Sandglass
2012
A intricate web of geometric patterns and delicate linework unfolds across the aged pages of antique ledger books, where Louise Despont's meticulous hand-drawn forms seem to breathe new life into historical record-keeping. In *Sandglass*, graphite and colored pencil lines weave together in rhythmic, mandala-like compositions that echo both scientific diagrams and mystical symbols. The original handwritten entries of the ledger pages remain visible beneath the drawing, creating a haunting dialogue between the passage of recorded time and the timeless nature of Despont's meditative mark-making.
