DRAWINGS

It always begins with a line.  Personally, drawing a line is an exploration:  It starts somewhere, it ends somewhere, it builds a tension while tracing it over the paper.  Then I repeat it but it follows a different pattern and then another.  Sometimes they cross and that dimension creates another tension.  I love to build up these tensions and, if I am lucky, it results in a harmony.  The tension dissolves.

​

Many times lines become scrawls, scribbles.

​

And then I mix up materials resulting in competing layers.

​

Drawing is like a musical composition: I build tensions and balances.  You repeat and it gives another tension; creates another balance.  A harmony is the goal.  If everything works out, several drawings next to each other form another harmony.

My restless soul searches for a peace – finds it; even only for an instant.
