Gesture

Seeking simplicity, I reclaimed the muscle memory from my oriental calligraphy studies of 40 years ago. I painted wide, big strokes with the branch of a broom plant across a plain white field. An expression of quiet and solitude, my goal was minimalist, meditative, whole body movement marks. The name “broom” for the simple cleaning tool comes from using broom plant branches to sweep away dirt. The clean stroke of a broom fulfills the quest for simplicity and minimalism.
