This is one of several circular works I did in the 90’s in reaction to all that had gone before in my drawing. Not square, not a black mark on white – but a white mark on black (velvet), I looked at the counterspace in an outward spiral which I made repeatedly until the surface was returned to a state of lingerie whiteness. Again, the function in an academic sense, is to see the line anew. One metre diameter, oil on black velvet, 1500 gbp.
