This is one of a series of eight viaduct drawings made with my eyes closed. They were all drawn in one session and no marks were added when my eyes were opened. The edited video is included in my profile to illustrate both the physicality and authenticity of this process. Sometimes I wet the soluble pastel and dampen the paper and the materials react together to play their part in the making. Marks can dissolve over the paper's surface and tonal contrasts evolve. When I draw with my eyes closed, I am not hampered by the crtiical eye, so questions are posed concerning the significance of the resulting marks and how they should be read when sight is not involved.
