My drawing process is easier to describe than the painting process due to the more direct, and perhaps singular, nature of the drawing. It starts with a very long line, usually a spiral, of late. I continue to make lines with the “rule” that I not cross any of the previous lines. The result is a self refining process. At the begin-ning, the lines or marks are very loosely responsive to the image I am building. As this progresses, the white spaces I have remaining to put lines in become smaller and smaller, and the information that gets built into the drawing becomes more and more specific. This synthesis of process and image, while very time consum-ing, feels very fluent and natural to me. The act of making these drawings, I imagine, is like jumping into a big vat of molasses; the initial descent in would be fast, but then the submergence would get progressively slower until movement stops, because of the viscosity of the medium.
