Penwald Drawings are a series of bilateral drawings
in which Tony Orrico explores the use of his body
as a tool of measurement to inscribe geometries
through movement and course.
The master of each drawing is a conceptual score
of Orrico's efficacious techniques, imposed variables,
and specified durations and/or objectives.
He explores the limitation of (or the spontaneous
navigation within) the sphere of his outstretched arms,
considering themes of repetition, locomotion, refraction,
and eventual exhaustion.
He performs his ideas live as a shared process that yields
a unique impression or print of the original concept.
