WITHOUT TITLE
1988

One of the drawings made before Henk decided to make random structures from now on, so before Turningpoint. It is based on working with the left and right hand at the same time. Technique graphite pencil. Fan out from the center with both hands at the same time. The black middle part is created because you make relatively short movements and you focus on the middle. The right is more regular than the left. A time factor of 8 hours has been used in this work, probably one working day long. The image is created by the action, not because you want the image to be that way beforehand. The white center strip also arises, by chance, due to the working method. The two graphite pencils meet in the middle, leaving a white line.
