This piece is separate from the works below. It's also for my landscape class - and the idea for it is a window view into a dream so that explains the figure and all the things happening around it. I need not explain more.

These works are for my advanced drawing class and I wanted to go off into a different direction. I want to utilize my drawing skills while I experiment with ways that make marks or impressions without me being the one in charge - so a loss of control you could say. These drawings involve repetitious mark-making along with what arises from haphazard like you see in the image above I made a ton of little doodle-squiggles but then uses india ink and a spray bottle to maneuver and allow the ink to bleed in whatever way it desires.

This drawing I made with a drill, thus it separated or filtered the amount of control and predictability I'd have with the ink - I jammed a brush into the head of the drill and that is what resulted. Then I went back over with white ink to create a vibrating energy within the piece that enabled it to have a larger vocabulary.
The two drawings are a combination of drill and drip drawings - I spread the medium with the drill and then I'd go back over with either white or black ink.
With the advanced drawings it's all about me trying to engage myself differently in my drawing process. Allowing myself to still have that obsessive markmaking that's part of my method but also allowing the haphazard to occur.
