Like a seismograph, Curtis Cutshaw attaches a string to a dowsing rod and then a pen to the end of the string. Walking over ground he finds water, deep below the surface. He describes the process as a search for feeling, a movement. When it is found, the pen moves creating the line.
It is the push and pull of the reaction his dowsing rod brings to form a drawing. The motion of his steps interacts with the movement of the pen; if he stops walking, so stops the line. It becomes a delicate balance between nature and the hand. From drawing, to computer scan, to archival print on photographic paper the image transforms to something entirely organic and otherworldly.
