Each drawing in this series begins the same way. Catalina Bertola picks up a black pen and starts making 3 little horizontal lines, 3 little vertical lines, 3 horizontal, 3 vertical… again and again. Until  the edge of the paper is completely filled across with little hatch marks. As she continues, slight and accidental variation causes the pattern to gradually morph and ripple. Eventually leading to dramatic variation in size and angle.  Despite being entirely composed of a rigid and repetitive pattern, the drawings have a sense of fluidity and movement. Mysterious form seems to be emerging from a field of linear static. ink on paper​​ 2021-2023
