The Body Drawings use physicality and conscious action as tools for mark making. Graphite and spray paint on paper are the mediums. A rigorous sequence of movements executed on the paper creates action where the residue is captured. A composition of action is the result.


I begin by standing on the paper and in the graphite.  I move according to a prescribed method.  Steps, hops, and balances create marks on the paper. Spray paint designates points along the path. For example I might paint a circle everywhere sweat drops during the work. The result  is a drawing that captures the movements and makes a  portrait of the movements free from hand or ideas relating to the actions. The drawing is pure revealing imperfection in the action and thereby making space to get closer to the truth of art making.
