These drawing were executed with my left and right hands simultaneously. The marks from each hand are separated by the empty space running vertically through the center of the paper.

This approach to drawing was triggered by working with sound. The act of listening is a binary activity where both ears transmit similar but distinct reflections of wave vibrations deciphered in the inner ear. The concert of information discloses direction, speed, texture, and ultimately our location. After many months relying exclusively on two ears to experience the environment I returned to drawing with one hand. Immediately this traditional approach produced seasickness the kind I felt as a child ferry crossing through the rising and falling waters off the coast of Scotland.

Drawing with both hands returned a sense of equilibrium to the act of drawing. This binary approach produces similar but distinct reflections of what my senses apprehend. Ink on paper, 36 x 24 inches.
