Martin Westwood — Extrusion 3
Martin Westwood

Extrusion 3

2007

A precise and methodical composition rendered in biro and gouache on graph paper, Extrusion 3 sees Martin Westwood exploit the grid's inherent geometry to explore ideas of form, process, and industrial production. The interplay between the mechanical regularity of the graph paper and the hand-applied marks creates a tension between the systematic and the handmade. Westwood's restrained palette and deliberate mark-making invite reflection on the language of manufacturing, design, and the transformation of material.
