The mark on a painting.

How that mark affects the space around it.  The space may lean into the mark.  Or the mark may lean into the space.  Or gravity pulls the space into the mark.

You need to go into that place of risk where you're not quite sure what's going to happen.  You have to push things into that fragile, vulnerable space between the mark and the surrounding space.  Get into that place where you don't know what's going to happen.  It's very difficult.

It takes its toll.
