Scheuer’s drawings always begin with a box, a plane within the plane

of his chosen material, signaling the beginning of a physical stream

of consciousness. “From this initial outline,” Scheuer says, “other

lines branch, peel, and grow into a network of shapes that hug and

ft together as if guided by the rules of puzzles or ecosystems.”

Inhabiting Scheuer’s ecosystems is vibrant and Edenic imagery,

drawn from the gardens that he tends and his meditative practice.

Such images include fora, fauna, insects, and birds, the numbers one

through ten (signaling Scheuer’s counting of his own breaths), and

symbols evocative of the interior, or spirit, such as hearts and stars.

These forms appear throughout the exhibition and Scheuer’s practice

at-large, though variations on this lexicon, however subtle, excitingly

showcase how objects made from a standard set of rules can vary

simply because they were made at diferent times and/or in diferent

places.
