36 cm (w) x 26.5 cm (h), black felt-tipped pen on cartridge paper.
Date produced: 7th July 1982

Produced during a trip home on a ‘27B’ bus between 9:50 pm and 10:14 pm. I had the idea of trying to get some interest within a series of vertical lines, by drawing them while on a moving bus. I drew the lines in sequence from left to right, and then I added the circles. In a way, the drawing is also a record of the travelling movements, a little like a music recording where a groove is created in a record from the soundwaves.

From an abstract composition point of view, I think this piece works quite well. There is good visual interest within most lines, good visual interest in the rhythms between the vertical lines, good visual interest in the contrast between the round shapes and the vertical lines, and good visual interest in the overall composition.
