The humble mark

Drawing begins with the humble mark. The humble mark begins a conversation between hand and brain, leading in turn to a conversation between hand and mind. The humble mark carries the hand’s tactile memory and experience. The humble mark, with discipline and practice, reflects on the eye’s investigation of and pleasure taken in the world. The humble mark brings personal feeling, personal discovery and personal vision tangibly into the world. The humble mark is the first sign of a human being acting on the world.
