So I've been drawing lately. Just some little 3.5 x 5.5 inch pencil drawings. I like that size. It's very portable.
As I draw I find that I think about the drawing: what do these silly little lines mean. A few elements keep coming up. lines that could be cracks. or edges. or both. semi circles. tiny circles that seem to have wedged themselves into spaces between lines. These last elements seem to be irritants - like those that create pearls in oysters. Or like a pebble caught in a whirlpool that grates against a softer rock, making a groove.
