This drawing was created for ‘A Book Made of Tears’ published by Atlantic Press. Its purpose is to be a metaphorical tipping point in to which you are immersed in the act of crying. This image was created intuitively without pre-planning, using a layered automatic drawing technique, that allows chance and accident to control the finished outcome.
