What follows are thousands of<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>hand drawn lines in neat rows. Together they create a greyish surface, monotonous and calm. At first the lines look identical, machine made. Upon closer inspection, some are thicker or less straight, breaking through the balanced composition. They indicate fatigue during work or the psychological processing of emotions. The apparent tightness of the lines has been lived through, giving the works by Mart de Houwer a uniquely personal
