Gregory L. Blackstock: Blackstock’s Birds Boxed Notecards

Seattle artist Gregory L. Blackstock (American, b. 1946) creates order in his world by identifying like objects and cataloging them in neat rows and columns in his drawings. The ultimate organizer, he documents what he sees in precise images and words that fill the page. Blackstock is autistic with savant skills, and he has an amazing memory for scientific, geographic, and visual details. His subjects include birds, buildings, burros, accordions, artichokes, automobiles, carrots, cauliflowers, cougars—and so much more. Once he chooses a subject, he seeks to record all the variations within that group to make the artwork “complete.”
