steve roden - surface shifts
"the surface shifts drawings were created while driving in my car on the highway. i attached a board to my steering wheel with bungie cords, and was able to slip a piece of paper between the board and the cords so that it was held against the steering wheel. i held a pencil in my right hand and rested it between the paper and my body. i wanted to create a drawing through the combination of bumps in the road surface and turns of the steering wheel – a kind of graphic map of the movements of my vehicle along a particular area of road; and a different kind of topographical notation, or recording process."
