Gong
Overview
A series of 3 graphite drawings and 1 printed text. For 3 days, I decided to clock a time for meditation and used these times to structure 3 drawings, 3 sets of lines holding 3 short phrases. Dedication brings about openings: on the day following the project’s third and final day, drawing lines turned to writing lines. First published as a pamphlet by Belladonna, NY. Reprised in Fig (2005).
The title is from an overheard snippet of conversation between two boys, sitting across me in a tube carriage:
– how do you spell that?
– g – o – n – g.
