Tarrey Banks’ A Thousand Drawings gathers together a monumental series of works on paper — each one an individual mark of time, memory, and creative persistence. What began as a daily practice has grown into an expansive archive of drawings that capture shifting moods, fleeting ideas, and the evolving language of line and form. Installed collectively, the drawings envelop viewers in a landscape of repetition and variation, where each page is both self-contained and part of a larger whole.
“This project is about showing up to the page again and again,” says Banks. “It’s about discipline, but also discovery — letting each drawing be a record of that moment. Over time, the small gestures add up to something much bigger than me.”
In A Thousand Drawings, audiences are invited to reflect on how ordinary acts accumulate into extraordinary impact. The exhibition underscores how creative practice, like community itself, grows stronger through repetition, commitment, and care.
About the Artist
Tarrey Banks is an Indianapolis-based multidisciplinary artist whose work spans drawing, painting, and experimental approaches. His practice emphasizes persistence and process, focusing on how small daily gestures of creation can grow into bodies of work that feel both intimate and expansive. Banks treats artmaking as a discipline of attention — a way to record time, experiment with form, and remain open to discovery.
Working across mediums, he explores endurance, variation, and the transformative potential of repetition. His drawings and paintings often reflect a balance between control and improvisation, discipline and play, structure and freedom. For Banks, art is not only a mode of expression but also a practice of resilience and care — one that continues to evolve as he adds to his ever-expanding archive of images and ideas.
