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 was 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 an 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.
