Carol Ladewig's paintings explore the interplay between limitation, intention, and chance. Limitation is a fixed reality, which is the result of nature, choice or serendipity. Intention is the aim that guides the process that is imagined and planned. Chance is that which happens outside the realm of limitation and intent.
The drawing series, Random Thoughts, begin with a line that becomes a string, which becomes a small or large group of strings as random thoughts direct. They developed from a love of drawing and a playful sense of line.
