“Desire Lines,” co-curated by Freeman and BMAC Curator Emerita Mara Williams, showcases a wide range of works, materials, and techniques by six artists for whom drawing is essential to their artmaking. James Siena, Dana Piazza, Tara Geer, Nandini Chirimar, Maggie Nowinski, and Alex Callender use graphite, watercolor, crayon, ink and ink wash, collage, acrylic, and charcoal. While paper is the most traditional drawing surface, the exhibit includes canvas and installation. The works exemplify the many ways artists use drawing to explore, reflect, and communicate with their physical and interior worlds. As Geer says, “I draw what I see but cannot explain.”
