Antenae #03 Nicole Lenzi
Walking Drawings In April Nature Walk, I engage in a responsive mark making process to record my surroundings while in flux. This activity encourages being fully present to the local environment as one passes through it. Marks are made on paper as the body bobs up and down to…
Antennae #02 Kazuki Nakahara
“Lichtung”,”Richtung” (Glade, Direction) I walked deep into the forest, chasing beautiful birds and cool insects. I followed the pathless trail, sewing through the grass and branches that clung to my body. Suddenly, I was so focused on the “gesture” of my body, which seemed to be regularly stitching the grass…

Signals#28 Nicole Lenzi
My art questions what a drawing is. I have been blogging about expanded drawing practices for years. After so many posts, I began to see drawings emerge all around me. Shadows were of particular interest. I began to document these temporal drawings on my iPhone, eventually calling them Sight Drawings. It felt important that…
