An exhibition of drawings made from found material, paper, and tape.
The initiation of a mark is the ground of imagination, a primary point of contact, of clarity, that is before language, before thought--a direct experience of mind operating along a wild edge. Whether representation or abstraction, no matter the media used, be it charcoal, graphite, paint, or ink; paper or fire, or ice, or tape; a photograph, a walk, a lost or found thing—it all comes back to drawing. Drawing, offers me, as poet Gary Snyder has written, an open space to move in with the whole body, the whole mind.
