Statement
The explorative attempt of drawing with constraints or parameters trying to mimic the process of making architecture.
Architecture revolves around the human body and it has influenced the work to take a lot after movement, measurements and placements of characters of the abstract expanding drawing are done with the constraints of movement and size of body. In a way i saw the abstract painting as a wild reshuffle of the space surrounding me.
Asides the use of the body setting the tone for the paintings they also have steps taken as they expand and the painting self generates and grows on the canvas. I've started off with linear mark making, my ‘construction lines and used it to strategically place values forming the 2-dimensional, non existent space.
