I’ve had an opportunity over the last month to work directly on the wall at a project space through my MA at SFU. I’ve been working with Rob Kitsos to think through the gesture of my drawings outside of marks. While the resulting drawing shares much with the work I’ve been doing as part of en faisant, and relies on the same gesture, the doing of the drawing has felt dramatically different. The movement work has helped me to keep my body in the drawing longer, and between pauses.
