Stream Drawings, 2024
acrylic medium and Dyneema thread, sizes vary

an unsubstantial territory
lucid dreamscape
she is reflexive, elle se lève
(I see) you in everything 2

These new drawings are formed with loops and swirling lines, like the invisible thread work, loops and circles. Stream drawings, fine threads of liquid medium. Fact of that, medium. Between states, between presence and absence, visually; liquid and solid, intention and aftermath. Which is where we live. They are subject to gravity, hanging by a thread as they are, and I take this into consideration, obey that one law. But on the wall they float, are between. This is what I continually return to, that between-ness. Am committed to it. They are like wings, necklaces, breasts, clothing, bellies but are also not. Not anything. Drawings of the space they are suspended within, showing us the light always there with its shadowy counterpart. The circularity of the marks more wavy lines than circles (those being the marks of the water drawings). Swirls. Writing in cursive, “o,” “o,” “o,” over and over. Continually, quietly awestruck.
