Three stages of the same palimpsest drawing. It is a plan to execute, the decision was to keep the parts of the letters which consists of parts of a circle. The result doesn't matter, if the drawing is beautiful, nice, good or interesting doesn't mean that much. The illusion of space by the rewritten black lines with white ink, the remains of words, sentences, texts with (heavy) content that is now forming it's own composition by accident...
Starting with a plan, with a decision such as wanting to draw a grid. Longing to draw a grid which is already the thousandth grid drawn by me. Choosing a text which has to fit in the grid, and afterwards wanting to erase the texts by scratching it. It is part of a all over plan, of an intention, of decisions made on forehand. It are conditions and by working with those conditions you can leave them, I can free myself from the boundaries created by myself because I don't have any idea nor theme to work with. Empty as a bottle. Creating conditions that can deliver unforeseen results.
