Tiles

For hours, I would sit and draw the texture in the tiles. There was something rhythmic, monotonous, almost meditative in the act—one speck, then a space, then another speck. After an hour I would blink, lift my gaze, look from a distance, and then return to the sesame again. For a time, this was how I created: moving from the small to the large, from detail toward the whole.
