Title: Drawing water
Description: "Believing that drawing is a mechanism for exploration as much as a tool for representation, Kovats brings together in the book drawings by map-makers, writers, shipbuilders, whalers, soldiers, sailors, artists, archaeologists, cartographers, scientists, uranographers, engineers and dreamers - a diverse selection united by the sense that in making the drawing they were looking for something. A selection of Kovats' own drawing and writing anchors the book which attempts to construct, in the artist's words, 'a portolan, a chart drawn at sea to guide a sailor from one safe harbour to the next.'"--Publisher's statement.
