Some familiar marks but experienced in a new way.

I love being able to make marks that feel like analog marks when I am making them and when I see them in the final drawing.

I am experimenting with drawings that are like this in the studio. I hope to have some to show at Open Studios.

Floating.

That’s how I felt and that’s what happened with the drawing.

I imagine myself floating through the rings.

Another change in direction.

Investigating joined background fields. This is a little messy but it’s a good start.

Crazy little needles lying one on top of another.

More organic forms. Really playing with the background shapes.

Playful.

They bring me joy.

Another experiment with organic plates.

Only one punched hole.

Whizz.

Another form that came about the same way. In this drawing I discoved edges created by the actual drawing surface. It too has a print quality to it.

I enjoyed punching the three holes in the top.

The second organic form.

Another rhythm pattern and then i decided to punch holes through the surface as well as mark it.

I have been working with punched holes a bit in the studio too. This one feels more like a print to me. I love the big translucent red dot.

I decided to work with some forms that are more organic as my defined surface.
This is my first experiment.
I started by creating a background pattern that uses repetitive marks in an organic way. These were based on rhythmns. Tap, tap — tap tap tap. TAP.
I molded the edge by hiding areas with white and then adding scribbled textured forms inside.

The second drawing using the flood fills. It’s sorta silly but I like the intersection of form quite a bit.

The marks feel alot like analog drawing to me.
