You refer to the lines you make as “thought pathways”. Could we describe them as a cartography of your imagination ?
As far as form is concerned, I’m fine with that comparison. But all the traces that I call “thought pathways” are really more of an invitation to lose oneself. Maps are normally used to locate a place. 
In my paintings, there are no reference points, 
no landmarks. You wander about as you please.
