Chance as a drawing method

Drawing with chance as a method could mean several things, so far I have explored:
  • Dripping ink
  • Using rice to soak up ink
  • Throwing a graphite covered ball
  • Dropping ink from a height
  • Blind drawing
  • Sprinkling brusho granules onto a wet ground
  • Dropping torn pieces of paper from a height
  • Ink ice cubes on wet and dry grounds

Dripping ink and catching the drips to make another drawing.

Ink ice cubes melting on a dry ground

The most successful drawings have been the ones made with drips of ink and using rice to soak up ink. Both of these methods are chance based, as I am unable to change the drips direction and I have no control over where the rice will land when dropped from a height.
