Often, the process requires trying to find a suitable structure to capture a complex idea…a map of the entire universe as an architectural structure, an 11-dimensional space, the world as it would have been if one little thing had been different, an algorithm for creating art proposals. . . Keith Tyson.

Head to Hand represents a selective survey of Tyson’s drawings from the past eight years. It includes both those drawings where the hand of the artist gives formal expression to an idea that has been already mentally charted, and those drawings where the hand etches out a conceptual space for the head to move into new territory and in unanticipated directions. Though most artists use drawing as a means of transforming mental thought into a physical manifestations, the scope of Tyson’s use of drawing to define areas of investigation is uniquely adventurous and ambitious.

Tyson has exhibited internatioanlly and was the recipient of the prestigious 2002 Turner Prize.

Limited edition book with a unique audio-CD recording the artist’s thought process behind the project.
