SCRIBBLES: Habits, Compulsions, & Outpourings of the Doodling Mind
A call for art by the Jurors Lois Bender and Amy Cheng challenged nation-wide artists to share their Scribbles, posing the idea of Scribbles as evolving choreographies of visual thinking and feelings flowing in space; that they allow something to develop and take shape as a 鈥渂ecoming." Its nature can be chaotic, noncommittal, ambivalent, tentative. It can also be intentional, commanding, finished. Is scribbling where ideas come from? Is it intuitive and non-thinking? A random exploration? Is it play, or a series of what-ifs? Can it be serious and mindful in the most profound sense of the word? Is it uncensored? Can scribbles be seen as a complete work of art? Is it a way to access our stream of consciousness? Do our scribbles reveal something essential about us?
The artists have articulated and unraveled the Scribble, answering the call with so many strong variations in innovative techniques and surprising materials liberating the Scribble as a vibrant phenomenon, apart from its historical image as a subsidiary non-serious form of art making serving an artist鈥檚 finished art.
