When I came across this sumi splattered collage, I was immediately reminded of a personal scroll I had made months after my stay in China. I recall one drawing critique my professor gave me:
push the lines. challenge different linear methodologies
Those weren't the exact words, but the message grew on me.
A line
the most elementary gesture
yet the most complex / dynamic / of all art elements
a type of line expresses anything and everything that the reader/viewer
needs to know
a feeling / an idea / the point ...

...or doesn't need to know
a line can become unclear-yet
still thoughtful
meaningful to the composition
so why encourage chaos?
is there beauty with the mess of lines?
naturally, where there is order there is disorder
a line becomes a force
an enigma
a formula
a way of telling you, me, and everyone
that this line means something and its going to show you
something
and something more
