| Howardena Pindell American, born 1943 untitled #6 1975 pen, ink, punched papers on graph paper Collection Walker Art Center Gift of the Peter Norton Family Foundation, 1993 |

When Howardena Pindell first began to make artworks using dots, she punched holes into paper, then painted through it to make a pattern. Using hundreds of paper dots saved from these other art projects, Pindell made untitled #6 by numbering and gluing dots onto four sheets of graph paper. She formed a pattern with many rows of small circles on the grid, but put the numbers in a mixed-up, random order. From a distance, you can see how the artist divided the work into light and dark sections. |
