An archive of ‘undisciplined’ meandering.

Glimpses of contemplation, musing, reading, wandering, collecting & gathering, for a life dedicated to drawing, painting, silence, sound, solitude & light.

Drawing Breath as Light #2

The second experiment in Drawing Breath as Light involved layering 3 sheets of the transparent drafting film. As a subject matter I looked at the movement of the torso/chest during deep inhalation. I played with this idea by using the same image and changing the scale as a way of looking at the expansion and contraction of the ribs while breathing. The other difference with these drawings is the idea of intention in the breath. Each hole is a breath...a deep inhale with intention...followed by a relaxed and natural exhale. These drawings took a long time and the meditative effect of the process change significantly.
