These are free-hanging scroll drawings. They begin with an initial symbol drawn over and over again, until I "intuitively" feel it is "done," or I become exhausted from the continuous drawing, or both. Much later, imagery is superimposed onto the drawing in a selected way, creating a dialog between the initial chaos of the symbol and the controlled application of imagery.
The scroll drawings began early in my investigations of The Perfect Circle. They identify the symbol as a method of control that ultimately ends in a lack of control. Here is an odyssey that explores the struggle for existence, as developed through the process of drawing.
