Again thinking about the last critique and the comments about how the drawings looked like they were moving and had fluidity to them, could I introduce fabric to my work as a surface to draw on? Canvas drop sheets would allow me to not only draw and paint on, but if I can get my hands on one large enough I could not only think about how it is installed in a space, whether it be suspended from the ceiling or hung on the wall and draped across the space, but it would also allow
