After reflecting on the
feedback I received from classmates during the previous session, I decided to
take a different approach to playing with my abstract paintings. Instead
of using the paintings as backgrounds for my mark-making, I decided to pay
close attention to the shapes each color contributed to when it met another color.
I wanted to created more define and control lines to highlight the space
between these colors. A pen served as a better tool than the paintbrush
from the previous play session. As I worked my way around each piece, I
felt it was necessary to say the most with the least amount of marks. By
doing so, I would create the space for each color/shape to make its presence
known. Although the process was somewhat meditative, it was physically
more challenging than the previous. My fingers began to cramp as I held a
tight grip around the pen.
