The space where something isn't, the shape of the space around the something, instead of a focus on the thing, a focus on the nothing. It goes best with background noise of Morgan Freeman talking about the Big Bang, the improbability of everything coming from nothing, the thoughts on nothing, and how many physicists through time had pondered this very question. Then, a concentration on a picture you want to capture, and connecting the eye to the hand, staring at the outline of what you want to draw, but instead of making the thing your focus, you make the negative space, the nothing around the thing your focus instead. It is drawing the shape of the nothingness around the object, it is an exercise in seeing the negative space as the positive space. I first read about this technique in the 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' art instruction book...a great book about how to unlock your inner artist. Now, I go back to this thought and ponder, dwell in a world where the negative space is the positive space.
