Her drawings and prints reflect on her 3-D art, and as the title of the exhibition tells, all of the art is connected through lines and repetition. For example, the figure 2 is repeated throughout the gallery, though never in the same arrangement. It appears upside down, cut in half, laid across the floor, even outside the exhibition, framed and hanging on the wall, almost as if it could simply be informing the level in the building.
