Thirtyninth Drawing detail Drawing

This is a detail of the monumental Thirtyninth Drawing. The scale of the piece is vast, if we consider that scale is not really a question of size but the relation of the size and compass of the mark to the surface. Painting with a six-inch wide brush on a fifteen feet canvas is not really working on a large scale. Working with points - pencils, pointy sticks and such on a five feet wide surface is. The artists felt that it was important to include details shots of the work in submissions to galleries and other venues or opportunities to try to get this across. So the viewer could appreciate the scale and also the very rich, layered surface which evolved by consuming around 200 hours of work. the surface would build, or break down in parts, to be worked back into, over and over again. It was a rigorous and often gruelling process but it led to a sense of the work declaring itself as something completely independent of the artists' intentions. It took on its own life.
