Growth follows patterns: branching, layering, responding to light. Same with making things - not forcing form, but recognizing the conditions that let meaning emerge and take root.

I've been studying underlying structures, the frameworks that hold up surface complexity. Armin Hofmann's tangent drawings showed me something essential: geometric constructions that underpin everything, like the strong evergreen bones of a garden. There's an idea of Eden in this work. Not paradise as perfection, but as potential - the moment before you make your first mark, when all possibilities still exist within the structure.

I'm using five marking methods to fill these frameworks. Each study explores what happens when you keep the bones the same but change everything else. Dot, line, plane, texture, tone playing against fixed geometry.
