Arts educator and researcher,
John Sydney Matthews
has identified marks and gestures
made by Great Apes and children
as possible early intentional expressions
of personal space.

This drawing is a reflection
of one of these marks.
It was made from observing a video
of a Great Ape drawing,
presented by Matthews at the second
International Art in Early Childhood Conference
in Armidale, NSW Australia.
