In the catalogue that accompanies her exhibition of charcoal drawings, Christine Hiebert observes that she draws by “always looking for a way to live in the space.” No better statement can summarize the experience of looking at her works. The largest pieces, which are often more than one hundred inches wide, induce the viewer to travel along them, following a succession of marks, while the smaller drawings offer a more contained but nonetheless powerful demonstration of movement. Some of Hiebert’s lines double back and twist into impenetrable thickets. Others jut off, seeking independence. Patches of smudging and erasure soften and deepen linear trajectories. Left untouched by these effects, the more ideographic marks record the channeling of pure energy.
