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.
