ON
DRAWING
ME, DRAWING HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST
FUNDAMENTAL WAY OF ENGAGING THE WORLD.
I'M CONVINCED THAT IT IS ONLY THROUGH
DRAWING THAT I ACTUALLY LOOK AT THINGS
CAREFULLY. THE ART OF DRAWING MAKES
ME CONSCIOUS OF WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
ME UNEXCELED AS A MEANS OF MAKING
YOU PAY ATTENTION TO WHATEVER YOU'RE
LOOKING AT. DRAWING ATTENTION IS EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT - WHICH IS WHY WE MOSTLY AVOID
DOING IT. WHEN YOU DRAW SOMETHING,
YOUR MIND SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER
GEAR - YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE
EXTRAORDINARY NATURE OF
A SUBJECT - ATTEMPT TO
DESCRIBE IT.
SO, FOR ME, DRAWING HAS
ALWAYS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE
PRIMARY WAY OF
ENCOUNTERING REALITY.
I'M ASTONISHED BY
DRAWING - IT'S A KIND OF
MIRACULOUS OCCURRENCE!
