Redemoinho
Grande Sertão: Veredas #3. Two thousand short tapered ink strokes, each a streamline traced through a vector field on red-earth paper. The field is a slow noise wind that combs the strokes into the grain of a dry pasture, plus a single vortex that turns them around a moving centre and pulls them inwards. The strokes never travel, they only turn as the field under them turns: through the loop a whirlwind is born out of nothing, crosses the pasture, gathers every line around its eye and lets them go again.
