Most of the time my doodles end up forgotten. However after finding these three I thought that they represented, in a round about way, the biological process of Mitosis. To make these drawing I start out with one simple shape and keep building slightly different shapes together until a whole is formed. It was by pure luck that the series shows a shape splitting in two. I make simple drawing like this before I fall asleep or while I am at work during slow periods. I like watching them grow because their final form appears as a surprise to me. In this sense the process is akin automatic writing.
