Tracing for Changes and Disappearances #32 (4 of 11) 1982

John Cage's *Tracing for Changes and Disappearances #32 (4 of 11)* (1982) is a work on paper featuring a series of pencil lines and annotations on a sheet of paper. Known for his experimental approach to music and art, Cage's piece reflects his fascination with chance and indeterminacy. The drawing explores ideas of process, the passage of time, and the relationship between the artist's hand and the artistic outcome. The annotations and lines are suggestive of a process of tracing, perhaps a trace of an event or a physical object, where changes and disappearances are rendered in the act of drawing.
