WIDE DANCE

One tall canvas, and everything happening across the bottom of it

A tall white canvas: a slanted red bar near the top, a thin black line looping down the height, a tangle of black loops and red marks low down, and a red band across the foot

Close view of a tangle of black loops crossing a long black line, with red marks lying under it — The tangle, close. One line runs straight through it.

A tall white canvas with most of it left empty. A red bar lies at a slant near the top, a thin black line loops down the whole height, and everything that actually happens — a tangle of black loops, red splash, a small ringed disc — is gathered low, above a red band painted straight across the foot of the canvas.

Close view of a black ring around a solid red disc, with a red splash below it — A ring around a red centre.

Close view of a broad red diagonal bar with a black scribbled knot drawn over its end — The bar, and the knot drawn onto it afterwards.

It is the widest and loosest of the red-and-black run: the marks are thrown rather than placed, and the red splash was made in one flick that broke into droplets on landing. The line is the only slow thing in it.
