SPAZZARE is a cycle of drawings, produced in spring 2018 at the Bogliasco Foundation, Liguria Study Center in Liguria, Italy. During this residency I worked a few meters from the Mediterranean, and the sound of waves violently smashing against rocks filled my studio. These 13 ink drawings were made over a 13 day period, early in the morning, and formed a part of my daily practice. The physicality of making them was a meditative, absorptive process.: I saturated a palm frond in sumi ink, and swept it across the surface of the paper, repeating this process hundreds of times until masses of lines, varying in density and energy, filled the surface. 'Spazzare' is Italian for ‘to sweep.’
