Drawing and Automaticality

The following works are my latest attempt at letting loose and allowing myself to explore what drawing has to offer my free hand. I am using the time spent in the studio to practice a type of automatic writing. I want the words and lines to spill out of me unedited in order to get to the unconscious things that I have been working on. There is tension and beauty in each of the drawings. The work has offered me my own inkblot tests with which to create and experience my own stories. This practice of allowing the work to come rather than forcing it has crept into most everything else I have done. I find it extremely challenging not to drive the outcome. This has pushed me beyond what I believed with my conscious mind to be possible.
