Every number in these drawings represents a moment in the counting cycle from 9 to 1\. The empty space in the potentially infinite sequence of numbers represents the figure zero, which does not appear in his work. In these drawings the artist is attempting to grasp moments in cycles of innumerable counts. The Innumerable Counts visualize life for Tatsuo Miyajima. The spirals or lines in the drawings are thus excerpts from a broader context, from innumerable moments in time.
