William Anastasi

Martina,, I was just looking into the artist we were talking about earlier,
William Anastasi
and how he goes about creating some of his blind drawings,

I found quite a good video where he is talking about his work

I was actually wrong about the pocket drawings, i thought they were created through chance, allowing the movement of walking to create the drawing. 
But
In fact it is the case of him watching silent films, with a folded piece of paper and pencil in his pocket enabling him to create a blind response to the film.
(perhaps I was a little off the mark)
But
They still make for intriguing, beautiful marks.


As for the subway drawings,,
that is indeed a record of the journey,,


Hope its helpful,,,
