| Description |
Installation by Creighton Michael, SquiggleTenri (graphite and paper coated rope, 48" x 144" x 5", 2005, Tenri Institute, New York City). The image illustrates a foundational body of work in Creighton Michael's career from the 2000s, during which he produced a body of hybrid drawing-sculpture installations in series, that were termed "dimensional drawings." The image depicts a work from his "Squiggle" series. Emphasizing gesture, motion and humor, they consisted of twisting pieces of pulp-and-graphite-coated rope affixed to supports that seem to hover in space in counterpoint to sinuous shadow forms. This work was publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications. |

| Purpose of use |
The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a mid-career body of work in Creighton Michael's oeuvre beginning in the early 2000s: his diverse series of "dimensional drawings"—hybrid drawing-sculpture installations that critics said expanded notions of what drawings could be. These works explored mark and gesture in two- and three-dimensional space, emphasizing qualities such as pattern, color, texture, and particularly, shadow. They often incorporated elements directly inscribed or inserted into gallery walls or spilling onto floors: light grids, patterns of drilled holes, bent wire and rope, among them. Because the article is about an artist and the work that makes him notable, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's ability to understand his significance, which arises in part from this new body of work. It brought Michael his continuing recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications and museum acquisitions. Michael's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article. |
