This last work took me about a month and two seconds to complete. I had
been trying to explain to an art class something about Zen ink drawings;
how you could be totally in the moment and create an image in a few seconds
that was more powerful than one you spent hours, months or years on. They
didn't buy it so I then spent the better part of a month making ink gesture
drawings in my note book. One night at a party I took out my note book
and made this gesture in less than two seconds. It had everything I was
working with -- changing length of line segments, variations in width,
in angle, in degree of curvature and it captured something of the personalities
of three people in the room at that moment. It was created in a flash
and felt like I was just signing my name. I immediately knew it had everything
I wanted in a single rapid gestural sequence. The original was about the
size of a postage stamp and when I showed it to people and said "see,
here, this is what I'm talking about," they looked at me like I was
pointing to pointing to the ceiling and asking if they could see the faries.
I then enlarged the image with an opaque projector and inked it in as
if it had been done with a brush. The enlarged image had the effect I
was looking for but also raised some questions about authenticity. Was
the enlargement an "orignal" work of art or a hand reproduction?
Was it version? The equivalent of a hand drawn print? There was no way
I could have done this with a brush although with a few more months and
a thick pad of rice paper to practice with I might learn to make a few
decent gestures. In the end I made three versions. I sold one and let
my mother have one which hung in her living room next to a grand piano
for several decades. That one is now owned by a brother. I have yet to
decide what to do with the last or if I should make any more. Perhaps
a silk screen print would be in order.
*Roma is a beautiful paper with a surface like fine sandpaper that is a pleasure to work on. Unfortunately I've since learned that it fades when exposed to sunlight. Buyers are urged to frame or reframe these with museum glass that blocks 99% of UV rays.
