Through Spic and Span in June and July (2017) a part of an ongoing process of creating a variation of graphite and acrylic drawings on paper on canvas, each of which is linked to a month in the year, Kaabi-Linke reflects upon her own practice of print making. The exercise facilitates an understanding whether a real time painting or drawing is even possible. In the process of creating, individual aspects of each variation of the work lies in the very nature of its origin and evolutionary process of the piece itself. In the end, each drawing relates to both time and space through the activity of filling period of time until the surface satisfies the conditions that end this process. The acceptance of this end or when the work is complete is the only decision the artist can make.
