Adam Erlbaum’s Flag Building at Amos Eno Gallery explores the tension between precision and organic development. He starts with a carefully measured diagram, transferring fractions of an inch to canvas with a ruler. Yet, as each line is drawn, slight deviations emerge, distancing the work from its original plan. The process becomes one of construction beyond strict intent, where a flag—light and shifting—symbolizes an approach to building rooted not in rigidity but in intuitive action.
