an exploratory exercise with my first-year drawing students at the National Art School in Sydney… outdoors, at a long narrow bitumen-surfaced circulation space between buildings on campus, students were asked to each select a socially-distanced location – their instruction was to stay on that spot and spend time drawing lines…

“Fluctuations” is a series of spatial drawings that emerged from my experimentation with VHS tape as a drawing tool.
