A few words on drawing,

a process of placing marks in a certain order on a surface. Making marks is an immediate connection between the mind and the drawing plane. There is something primal and satisfying about that immediacy. To view a drawing is a voyeuristic glimpse into its creator’s mind. On a professional level the act of drawing requires some skill and technical proficiency. While the activity itself is a fulfilling experience for the artist, drawings that exist for the sake of exhibiting one’s skill are merely tacit exercises. The most interesting drawings have a concept, an overriding idea that initiates contemplation for meaningful engagement between artwork and viewer.
