This Drawing which was made this past week is from a series I started in 2001. Only recently have I returned to it. The drawings are made with cut willow branches dipped in dark blue ink on paper. Some of the drawings are made with branches as long as three feet in order to get back from the drawing while still having contact. I have always walked back and away from the paper to look at my drawings while working on them. Using long branches enabled me to be back from the work in order to see it but still be able to work on it at the same time.  Having only recently looked back at this series I have found a new energy for it and a shift in direction that has taken place some 11 years later.
