# Drawing *Gridscape* : Testing Identity and Ego


This “Ego” drawing (part 3 of 4) is a precursor to our next collaborative art project. During this initial stage each of us has drawn on *individual* canvases in an effort to explore a single theme or idea. The four drawings will later become a toolkit in assembling a logic for both our “Id” ([collaborative drawing](https://steemit.com/art/@hitheryon/collaborative-art-id-drawing-part-2-of-4)) and “Superego” ([mural installation.](https://steemit.com/art/@hitheryon/solo-exhibition-superego-ii-mural-milan-italy)) 


In this drawing, Kirk records a gridded landscape of extruded objects. In each of these hand drawings we’ve incorporate a new color palette of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (or CMYK.) From a distance, alternating hatch-linework of yellow and blue give the illusion of green. Yellow and magenta relay a reddish hue. 


***“Deriving a Gridscape” is a 50cm x 70cm hand drawing made with pen, ink and colored pencil. Here is the full composition, below:***
