This 7"x10" drawing features a large cluster of dense, interwoven black ink lines that dominate the right side of the composition, while the left side remains mostly untouched. The mass of marks appears to grow upward and outward, with layers of curved lines overlapping in a way that creates depth and texture. The edges of the form are more diffused, suggesting motion or energy radiating outward, while the center of the cluster is darker and more compact, pulling the viewer’s eye inward. The contrast between the detailed, dark mass and the blank white space surrounding it creates a tension, as if the form is actively expanding or contracting within the confines of the page. The vertical orientation of the lines gives the piece a sense of organic growth, like abstracted vegetation or flames.
