Description

A self-described doodler, Dreyer records things he sees instantaneously on small pieces of paper that he carries with him. Some of these doodles become the basis for his paintings and sculptures. Dreyer says "single observations are often catalysts that spark recollection and assimilation. However, the work has its roots fixed in a diagrammatic exploration of such things as perception, motion and gravity." As his is an organic process, there is an interconnectedness to Dreyer?s work. In fact, Dreyer says, "I am pushing these ideas around a little more instead of just trying to make one object that is only about itself." One example of this interconnectedness is his sculpture Polaris. It came from a photograph he took of a renovation project. He liked the dynamics of the angles, lines, and shadows in the photograph so much that he based a painting on it. Out of that, he started playing around with small bits of cardboard and wire which turned into a small maquette and later into the large sculpture Polaris. Polaris, in turn, has generated at least ten more paintings. Each painting and sculpture from this group stands alone, but each is also interconnected with the other. Ultimately, they are all interconnected with the space captured in the photograph that originally inspired him.
