Timothy Paul Myers
Repetition and the use of unlikely materials are two prominent themes, which continue to be displayed throughout Myers’ work: a business ledger of Myron B. Johnson, circa 1899-1929; one-thousand trading cards, circa 1900s-1930s; and one-hundred-thousand stacked pencil pieces individually topped with a single drop of acrylic paint from the artist’s palette of over one-hundred-fifty hand-mixed colors. Myers showcases contradicting components in arrangements of extraordinarily organized grids, most of which are encased within pristine plexiglass display cases. The artist’s conscientious consideration of presentation allows him to showcase his almost compulsive use of repetition and unlikely materials as specimens of his own obsession.
