An autistic savant, Gregory Blackstock spent more than 25 years washing pots at the Washington Athletic Club (WAC) in Seattle. In 1986, he started making drawings for the WAC monthly newsletter and when he retired 15 years later a relative helped him find a gallery to show his growing body of work. Obsessed with manmade objects and all sorts of living things, Blackstock makes categorical drawings that confidently organize his varied interests in meticulous yet charming ways.
