How?

How can we have faith in the possibilities of drawing, of images, ideas, narratives, experiences being “drawn out” simply by the accumulation of marks? Simply, such faith is affirmed by histories of marks on surfaces made by greater and lesser artists alike, grappling with problems and reaching powerful conclusions, often using less than a thimbleful of graphite, a puddle of ink or a few inches of burnt stick. Images on the walls of caves, carvings on rocks, markings on papyrus all still speak to us.
