Marks. Are you at your most creative when you were a young child? What were your drawings and paintings like before you had seen examples and were convinced by peers, teachers, to draw and paint a certain way? Drawings needed to communicate to others. Accuracy was important. Composition principles were thrown at you and absorbed. I don't have an answer to the question but, in this series I am trying to reach back to those more innocent days before composition principles and the acquired skills of drawing and painting began to dictate every mark I put on a surface. Reaching back to your childhood freedom of expression is an extremely difficult approach for a 64 year old artist, architect, educator, human being to take. Look at my other series. Control and the order of geometry are extremely fundamental to all of my work.
