To quote Steven Sacks, "Three different drawing narratives and behaviors are viewed developing from single formal line drawings slowly into complete images from “The Disasters of War”. In the process of retracing the etchings asymptotically, the work approaches yet never reaches the original image. The work then continues by erasing and eroding the drawing before reaching the final form of the image back to a blank screen. Another iteration immediately follows, starting the process again, repeating cyclically, each time individually creating a unique path and drawing from the attractor’s unique unrepeatable behavior. The entire process takes approximately one day to cycle all 80 etchings.

What you see is the drawing and erasing of each of Goya's prints using a different drawing 'perspective'. One is architectural and therefore very linear and angular, one is created using small and overlapping circular shapes and the third is a very gestural, free-hand drawing style which he calls 'scrumbling', a term for free-style crocheting.. Each image is on its own screen beginning with a blank screen and slowly growing into an approximation of the same work but arriving there via very different patterns. These image cycles last about 15 minutes each during which time they develop and then dissolve leaving the screen blank once again. Immediately following, another work in the series begins on the three screens.

Goya's work,"The Disasters of War", was inspired by his reaction to Napoleon's battles during the Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal in his bid to control Portugal and tighten his trade blockade of Britain between 1807 and 1814.
