Kathryn Van Dyke's Maps of Possibilities

Van Dyke's paintings are covered in a penciled web that doesn't necessarily have the logic of a spider's web. It's more dot-to-dot. It's like doodling. Begin at one point and connect it by line to another point, and so on. Vary the length of lines, make them closer and further from each other, and build little networks of lines projecting from or circling around a particular point. Slowly a structure starts to build. Make it up as you go along. It's the search for a structure, and a way to cover the entire surface. Balance it, spread it out, counterweight heavier areas with lighter areas."
