"Corduroy is a fabric that is composed of fibers that are twisted together to make a complete cloth. This series, Corduroy, contains drawings of people and places twisted together to form complete images. All of these people and buildings can be seen from the counter at the La Colombe over on Fourth and Lafayette, as that is where I created all of these. Except, of course, some of the images here came from inside my head, so those might not be so easily seen from the counter. Another fact about corduroy is that it provides the wearer extra warmth, and so I was likely wearing some corduroy when all of these were made, as were, I imagine, some of the people in these pieces."—MAX SCHIEBLE

"Corduroy" was exhibited at the Gallatin Arts Festival in 2013, and an excerpt from the series was printed in the Gallatin Review, volume 28, 2013.
