Live Lines
"Live Lines" is a live drawing performance by Dutch artist M.V. Baks. Every two weeks, a new drawing emerges in real time — guided by randomly chosen words and streamed live. The project explores spontaneity, ritual, and the shared moment between artist and viewer.

A dreamy start with colored pencils and a "mushroom" led to unexpected focus — and a second word: "cone". A slow, vibrant build in one hour of flow.
