Big Bang: Vertical Descent

A somatic shift in choreography where the marks trace a falling motion, testing the effects of orientation on ink viscosity and the ritual performer’s movement.

Vertical format activates gravity as primary compositional agent. Where Diagonal Thrust records lateral force, this work documents descent: ink falling, pooling, accumulating at the base in sedimentary strata. The body choreography shifts when the paper is oriented vertically; marks trace falling motion rather than sweep. A test specimen for orientation-effect on viscosity behavior. The paper becomes a basin. The ink becomes weather.
