Plenty of artists tell stories. Michael Schall‘s interest in a narrative quickens once it’s over. His drawings could be closers at a movie, coming up as final credits roll.
Snow Tracks
graphite on paper, 22 x 30 inches, 2009
His drawings are not a final scene but what comes after, either as summary (Snow Tracks) or coda (Untitled below, 8 x 11 inches, graphite on paper 2009). Even if an ending proves grim, lead balloons can still lift a dump truck into the air – heavy things joining to defy gravity.
At Platform Gallery through March 27.
