Last weekend I was at a thrift store where they had a huge aquarium. I was fascinated by all the living plants, as well as the fish. They were waving back and forth and undulating to take in food. These drawings come from that experience. They developed from simple dots in a mass, to more defined plantlike shapes. Most of this was unconscious, but at some point I could see what was being created. It's at this point that the drawing got more self-conscious, which makes it more difficult in some ways, and more of an aesthetic experience. It's a mystery to me how it all works. All I know is that it's best to walk some line between knowing and not knowing.
