In slide-show form these drawings become wonderful sequential imagery. I often wonder, when looking at your drawings, about your head space when making the work. Personally I would go crazy drawing all those lines. Is it a meditative process for you, or is it an obsession?

It starts out meditative, goes through annoyance and then becomes obsession (hey, I just invented a 3 stage model)

Hey, I recognize that model – seems every piece I process follows those stages…

Brain stimulating, for me it is about the relationship between each drawing. In some drawings I asked myself “was this drawn after Andy had a beer or two,” possibly! Nonetheless an enjoyable experience.

So much variation in the line. Really great to see the drawings in a slideshow.

The video your work is perfect for that video – interesting. We are at opposite extremes. Right now I’m painting large

Thanks Carla for commenting and that’s interesting that we should be going to opposite places, maybe we will meet in the middle?

I really like these. Repetition with slight variations seems to be one of the big things I look for in the arts, and I love how slight irregulaties in line width, straightness or angle suddenly turn a grid into three dimensional space or conjure up shapes in the visual system.
They also reminded me of photography of Aitor Ortiz, with which I had the pleasure to get aquintated with recently at Fotografiska museet in Stockholm. He’s website is a bit too well designed to be pleasurable for the user, but if you can manage it, the series Amorphosis is the one that I connected your drawings with.

Hi ottowille, and thank you for your comments and positive feedback. Thanks also for the very interesting link. Yes, I can see the resonanace (I know that’s something that we usually hear), and the site is well worth visiting – even though yes it is a bit of an effort to get there!
