It's the creative aspects of drawing that I find the most appealing. Above all, as a painter, it's drawing with paintbrushes loaded with paint or with any other markmaking means on canvas, or other support, in the prelude to the act of painting, or the combination of both painting and drawing, that transports me most readily through those much paint-bedaubed portals that open to the personal odyssey of the painter. Paint . . . In the hands of great painters, the forms and styles of painting and drawing are powerful magical forces greatly to be reckoned with. This final image of the world is eternally unfolding.
Time is a folding of eternity.
Eternity is now. The denouement of the future of the world can be, and is, expressed in the creative act of drawing. We draw the world with our eyes. We draw our idea of the world. What the eye draws is conveyed through the nervous system and externalised, into the world, by whichever medium is at hand.
