Moving away from the landscape drawings specifically and to drawing generally, I would like to devote this post to the influence of percussion sheet music on my work. Having taken about 2 years of drum lessons focusing on the snare drum, I learned 1) to read the sheet music notation and 2) to execute drum rudiments. Looking at the sheet music as abstract marks on a page, I began to think of an analogous method of drawing. Take a few kinds of marks such as a dot, a line , a squiggle, and an "x" and arrange them as a unit. Next, take that unit and repeat it in a linear direction. The dots, etc. are like the notes, the units are like rudiments, and the linear direction is like a staff line.
Got to go now, so this is to be continued.
