Experiments in Self-Hypnosis Drawing

In this experiment, I used self-hypnosis videos from the Internet to lead me into a meditative state. While listening to a video, I mixed graphite and flour to create a drawing on the floor of my studio. Later, I destroyed the drawing by sweeping it into a pile on the floor.
