Tom Marioni compared the process of making 22 Line Drawings to fencing. “It’s about reach,” he said. He approached the task by attaching sheets of paper with pale beige aquatint backgrounds to a wall at varying heights and then, standing in front of each and using a four-color pencil, “attacked” the sheets, making strokes from top to bottom, bottom to top, and out from the middle. The character of each drawing—darker, lighter, bolder, more tentative—reflects its position on the wall, while some have more of one color than another depending on the angle and pressure of the strokes.
