The ideas of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze inspire this series of drawings. In his book "Difference and Repetition" (1968), Deleuze describes how an undifferentiated ground has the potential to become a figure. The ground contains differences in itself. Through a repetitive and continuous process of adding invisible and visible marks, the ground is drawn through. The ground is unbiased and not subordinated to any notions of representation.
If you keep an open mind, you'll see that ambiguous shapes, forms, and figures can emerge. There's a sense of equality in what becomes perceptible, but remember that what you see is just an idea projected onto the ground. In the next moment, it could all fade away into the ground.
How we interpret the drawing is just a coincidence. Maybe we should consider how our learned patterns and attitudes could limit our access to undifferentiated possibilities.
This project challenges us to think differently through drawing, drawing upon our notion of unbiased conceptions and responses.
