It's an idiom for a reason, but I'm not going to say it.

A point that I've found myself returning to many times so this can be short and sweet I hope. My drawings are of entireties, an entire field, flock, or texture. There isn't anything beyond the page, so I don't want to imply that there is, this is a given. Michael Frank referred to me illustrating the 'whole' as a power play, which I found amusing and true. All this is mirrored in how I want them to be viewed as a singular composition first, then perhaps the individual elements inspected. The individual elements, by the way, also have to fit within the part/whole issue. They themselves are made of sub-particles, and are sub-particles themselves within the drawing - it's all very recursive. Anything else I say is probably a retread of my previous posts, a good sign: life (or art) imitating art (or life)?
