An adjacent segment contains gear shapes as well as a title block. A section along the right margin of the drawings contains a series of colorful sketches that are connected to the rest of the drawing with dotted lines and notations that contain both numerals and hyrogliphic characters. Hieroglyphic characters and numerals appear throughout the drawing. Predominant colors in the composition are rust, sepia, green, black. |
| Description: | Timothy Ely is an eastern Washington artist living and working in Colfax. A voracious reader from an early age, the public library was a favorite haunt for Ely; science fiction, Popular Mechanics magazines, maps and comic books left a lasting impression. In the early 1980s, an NEA grant allowed Ely to spend time in Japan, Italy and Englands tudying bookbinding and papermaking. Ely's work centers on the bound volume as an artistic format for his drawings and prints. His lavishly painted and drawn unique manuscript books resemble atlases which appear to chart unknown territories and mysterious other worlds. |
