Matthew Ritchie's Shadow Drawing, 2022, is an enveloping 10-foot high sculpture of laser-cut, powder-coated stainless steel that creates a landscape of line and shadow. Although the structure is fixed in solid steel, it appears on the precipice of change, hovering on the threshold of chaos and order. Its form was initially based on a mathematical model called a Henon attractor, which allows one to model chaotic orbits–in other words, to trace an almost untraceable line. .
