Matthew Ritchie’s No Sign of the World is a multi-layered drawing that makes use of many types of lines. What do you think he means when he says, “Often, you’ll see figures being pierced by multiple fates that are sort of embedded in the lines. It’s like the lines in your destiny. Who would want a straight-line destiny? It’d be rotten, right”?
What type of line or movement of line would you use to describe your own destiny or “life-line”? Please describe why you chose this type of line to represent your destiny, and how you see your own destiny.
