Menu Objects is a drawing series in black and white. In the uneven grids, there are iterations of the same shapes, patterns, icons, or symbols. Each iteration is different from the previous, the drawing ends with a variety of these elements. The elements include floral shapes, confetti, circular form, square frame, polka dots, swirls, wheel form, string form, argyle pattern, star form, heart form, mix, chains, or stripes. The list keeps growing. Each element exists in its own box, colored with different tonal values or backgrounds. Each element is labeled with a title given by me based on the feelings I have for them. I gave them names such as star pop, pop mini, wiggly, party frame, or clumsy dough.
