This 6"x8" ink drawing on archival paper features an expansive, dark, layered mass of overlapping ink strokes that sweep across the lower half of the paper. The densely packed black lines appear almost storm-like, creating a sense of weight and movement. The top portion of the drawing features more subtle transitions where the marks become lighter and more dispersed, giving a feeling of rising energy or dispersion. The strokes are fluid and organic, yet they evoke a kind of tension, as if capturing a moment of chaos or unraveling. The negative space at the upper edge of the paper further emphasizes this shift in density, allowing the viewer’s eye to move freely across the composition while feeling drawn into the darker, more intense central mass. This piece suggests an interplay between control and disorder, as if balancing on the edge of an abstract eruption.
