FLASH

Bleach thrown at the sheet rather than drawn onto it. A disc burns out at one edge, verticals rise beside it, and the liquid keeps travelling after it lands — there is no moment where the mark is finished. Sodium hypochlorite — household bleach — drawn onto black paper with brush, dropper and bare hand. The bleach lifts the dye out of the sheet rather than adding anything to it, so every mark arrives pale gold and none of them can be taken back. A line keeps spreading after the hand has left, which means the drawing finishes itself. Titled FLASH. The two sheets here are the same gesture at two speeds, one flung and one poured.
