It's always an interesting experience when I make one of something. My mode of operation is to create a series of drawings and watch what happens in the repetition as I move from one drawing to the next. I do this to get deep into a space where I let the marks reveal themselves by the physical gesture that dominates at that time.

This square drawing has been in the making for months. I popped it away in the drawer over the winter and it seemed that with spring around the corner it would be a good time to revisit. I decided that rhe piece needed a rhythm that would tie the layers together at the surface.

I've made marks like these red ones before. Now I know the drawing is finished.
