"Rain Drawings" consists of works created by exposing paper to precipitation in various locations and under different meteorological conditions. The resulting drawings are a documentation of the impact of rain on the terrain of the chosen site. The preparation and pigmentation of the paper is determined by the artist, but the execution of the work is left to the natural process of rain. The title of the series, "Rain Drawings," refers to both rain as the subject of the drawing and the rain as the agency that creates the drawing. The Spain series of Rain Drawings illustrates the chain of infinite substitution and ultimate indeterminacy of the sublime thing. The inner space is created through layers of drawings, with every new drawing slowing down the process of the previous one but still affecting it with fresh pigment and new rain fall.
