emerges onto the wall and around the gallery spaces demonstrate a fast and aggressive
use offline that excites the viewer. (Museum of Modern Art, 2010) While Gryzmalas
work is fast and aggressive, Yamamotos salt drawings are peaceful and meditative.
Yamamoto uses his consistent lines of salt to process and accept the death of his sister.
His lines are repetitive, but are also cognizant of composition. Negative space and a
dense concentration of lines contrast each other, but also work harmonious in these large
and delicate installations (Monterey Museum of Art, 2014).
Methods of Mark Making
While the location of the art work is important it is also important to consider how
marks are made. What tools did the artist use? What methodologies does the artist use to
implement mark making in their specific style? Tony Orrico is an American dancer who
uses his the range of motion of his body to create symmetrical drawings. Additionally,
Orricos drawings can be considered performance art. During the performance an
audience can witness him create his drawings in a dance like production. The video
included in my scoop.it archive depicts Tony Orrico using his body to create a radially
symmetrical piece that consists of repeated arm movements while he is holding sticks of
graphite. His focus and deliberation of all his movements is evident as he moves across
the paper to complete his composition (Orrico). Fabienne Verdier uses another atypical
method of creating her marks. She began her career studying Chinese painting in China,
but when she returned to France her style changed to focus on mark making and color
utilization. Verdier uses a single massive and heavy brush that is suspended from the
ceiling. She uses handlebars to push the brush around the canvas to create her large
marks. Her very specific brush is made of horsetails to give the massive brush volume,
length and a distinct soft mark. Her marks are relatively simple and demonstrate the
quality and movement of the brush (Verdier n.d.).In order to create his drawings, Cai
Guo-Qiang uses gunpowder to create large-scale pieces on paper. His gunpowder
creations are almost a performance in themselves because they require large numbers of
people to set up fuses, distribute gunpowder, and extinguish any fires created by the
ignition of the gunpowder. The burn marks in the paper create value and lines that define
either a landscape or a non-objective pattern to create his final pieces (Museum of
