Life is ridic. busy right now, no time to do anything!!! Really all I’ve managed to do for ages is some doodling and a bit of clearing up.

I was doodling on some post-it-notes last night in a spare five minutes and came up with a few new areas to explore. It fascinates me how idle drawings could lead to something exciting.

Using found bits of paper I traced around the contours to produce some sparse, abstract shapes. Thanks mainly to the size of a post-it-note, there is only room for clarity.

I found a tiny ball of wool and poked my pencil right through it and started drawing, the wool restricting the marks. I pulled out a loop of wool and drew inside it, again the wool restricting the scope of the marks. It was like a woolly spirograph.

I pulled a strand of hair and tried to draw against its length on the paper; it kept moving. After 30 seconds of this the marks were quite beautiful.

It seems restriction and resistance are useful tools to record the untangiable.
