Monique Jansen Lecture Research #1

Dorothea Rockburne
Canadian artist known for her folded paper constructions, she studied at both "Ecole des Beaux-arts" in Montréal and studied at Black mountain college with other artists like Robert Rauschenberg she is  interested in mathematics and compositional structures that are mathematically made. She works in a minimalistic manner in which her early work was made out of. she also "developed her work into characteristically aestheticized paintings of interrelated shapes for which she became renowned" {1} for. This is evident within her work with the drawings of her folded paper constructions that show how drawing can be interpreted as an attitude with it technically being what some would call a sculpture. But shows drawing techniques where it appears playful and fun.
