Day three hundred and sixteen: This is where the sketches all began. Last December I was in an airplane leaving Minneapolis at the break of day, and found myself thinking about my friend Sara’s daily sketches. I started doodling what I could see out the window with a pencil, and made a note of the horizontal pattern created by “night, red lights, pink dawn, snow, ice, light.” I remember my original intent was to create an abstracted version of the runway landscape. Tonight, while browsing through my iPhone pics, I ran across a snapshot I made of the original drawing. Here is an adaptation of the black and white doodle, made around 11 months later.
