This drawing exercise explores the possibilities of the exploded axonometrics technique. The exercise involves exploding an imaginative Rubik’s cube in multiple stages, with each stage leaving a trace of its path. To start the drawing, one does not need to know exactly how it will end. The composition shapes itself as the drawing grows. This method illustrates a wonderful quote on writing by E. L. Doctorow: ‘Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.’
