Your steps are a metronome
"In terms of the process, I suppose I would say that every drawing starts with a question, and is a journey itself. I had a very personal, and powerful experience walking over a bridge in London after a traumatic event. I’ve always walked as a kind of musical meditation. As I walked the bridge on that journey I was very conscious of my relationship with the horizon, particularly as it opened up on the bridge.
This drawing captures both sides of the street elevations (opposite each other), and the river rushing under the bridge. I was interested to see if I could capture the specificity of an experience (in time) but also an abstraction, or generalities of a place; it is both poetically atmospheric and a precise recording of a particular duration. It is a way of reading the experience of the city without being able to see the city at all." Lily Jencks

Meditations on “Theatrum Mundi”, is a sonic response in 12 movements by Yuval Avital to Daniel Libeskind’s “Theatrum Mundi”, 1983, a series of 12 abstract works (paper, collage and paint on board) that give visual form to a premonition of the future as a city besieged by an unknown infection. The composition interprets the visual artworks as ‘mandalas’ and their titles as poetic vectors.
