"This particular event invokes for me the notion of simple material relations and collaborative gestures that underpin human agency.
Art space/practice can promote these working intimations that enter into the realm of beliefs."

PB144997a : Mapping.

Bento's Sketchbook : John Berger

The human  body  {corpus humanum) is composed  of many individuals (of different nature),  each  one of which  is highly composite.

The  individuals  of  which  the  human  body  is  composed  are some fluid, some soft and some hard.

The individuals composing  the human  body,  and  conse­quently  the human  body  itself is affected  in  many  ways by external bodies.

The human body needs for its preservation many other bodies from which it is, so to speak, continually regenerated.

When a fluid part of the human body is so determined by an external body that it impinges frequently on another part which is soft, it changes its surface and as it were imprints on it the traces of the external impelling body.

The  human  body  can  move  external  bodies  in  many  ways, and dispose them in many ways.

The human mind is apt for perceiving many things, and more so according as its body can be disposed in more ways.

Figure/Foreground/Afterimage : Drawing


In drawing the moments of choice have been kept visible.
John Berger, Berger On Drawing.

A drawing is essentially a private work, related only to the artists own needs.
The Drawn Line-A Recession-A Past Statement Brought Forward

The Body of Drawing
Drawings by Sculptors
South Bank

Drawing registers the transforming effects of the imagination and the memory.
Drawings are images of flux; flux both imaginative and physical.

Drawing is a verb.
There is no way to make a drawing-there is only drawing.
Richard Serra

The Drawing Book
Tania Kovats
Drawing is something where you have  a really direct-immediate relationship with the material. You make a mark, and then you make another mark in relation to that mark.
Kiki Smith
The Body
Rodin's lines dont just represent carnality; they are themselves carnal, invasive, sexy. Uninterrupted by the space between the material and the body; the line made by the drawing hand stands in for other haptic things. The body is where drawing begins and where it ends.

Looking at images does not lead us to the truth, it leads us into temptation.
Marlene Dumas

Sexuality and Space

AFTERIMAGE : Drawing Through Process
Cornelia H. Butler



Rather than regarding life-drawing as an event of realism, it may be more productive to
explore it as an assemblage of events, a field of practices, or as a cluster of performances.
