Unfolding The Line

Unfolding the Line is a soft pastel drawing on paper that delves into the muscle memory of my hands and body in mark-making. By showcasing these marks, I explore the patterns stemming from hand movements and reconcile their inherent muscle memory. This process uncovers diverse manifestations of unfolding lines and their revelation. The drawing embodies ceaseless repetition without clear endpoints. The impulse to densely fill the page with compacted pastels embodies emotional control and compulsiveness, tied to my intense relationship with cleanliness and repetition.
