To explore mark making in this piece I further developed my
exploration into blind drawing. I feel that blind drawing is the way to explore
the psychology of mark making and how without the analytical function of our
eyes we are able to explore a freer expression of our inner psyche.
In my previous project I redrew many of my blind drawings in
order to bring back a form of control into an uncontrolled expression. I discovered
that despite blind drawings having a more serendipitous way of producing marks
and compositions we are still limited by our own bodies and the kind of
movements we think to make. I tried to combat this idea of returning to my own
archetypal gestures by asking another person to dictate what I drew whilst
still remaining blind. This included the marks I made and the duration for
which I drew them as well as what medium I used. This brought in a new layer of
controlling my uncontrolled gestures whilst still introducing new and
unexpected elements into my work. I then redrew it to produce a drawing that is
both an expression and repression of collaborating two minds.
