TOPIC: Interplay of black & white

Back in 1988, I created a series of large black ink drawings; done extremely spontaneously. As I held the sumi ink brush, the urge to create an interplay of positive and negative spaces seemed to propel my hand; and in a wink of an eye, images in white and black appeared. There is something especially liberating about working in ink on paper; the ink flows freely, there is no going back, there is no room for regret. I look at drawings like these now and am reminded of the appeal of working without concern about color. Just lines and forms. Very basic.
