Wall drawing by Linn Meyers, Every now. And again (ink on wall, 2011, Hammer Museum). The image illustrates a key, long-running body of work in Linn Meyers's career: her large-scale, site-specific wall drawings, which are impermanent works. This image depicts a wall painting Meyers created at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles over the course of 180 hours in twelve days. The roughly 100-foot-long, the deep-violet and pale-yellow work was inspired by the color and light of the city and featured rolling swirls, curves and teardrop shapes made of multiple strokes, which appeared to tumble toward the bottom of the museum's lobby staircase. This work was commissioned for and publicly exhibited in prominent museums and public venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key body of work in Linn Meyers's career that began in the late 2000s, when she started producing large-scale, non-permanent, wall drawings, which she has created in several museums, among other venues. These works are rooted in a process of repetitive mark-making—thousands of hand-drawn lines that come together to form rhythmic, patterned wholes and serve as records of their own on-site making, which can take days, weeks or months, often with spectators witnessing the effort. The wall drawings enhance and magnify certain broad aspects of her art: its physicality, directness of materials, use of entropy, and themes of endurance, contemplation and impermanence. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this later stage and body of work, which brought Meyers continuing recognition through exhibitions and coverage by major critics and publications. Meyers's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
