a line


Thought a bit more about the act of drawing, particularly
old artifacts, sculpture etc..
or anything, really




..it can feel as if there's a link to the person who originally
made the object, as the pen moves around it's shape.
Maybe a (lesser) version of the Tibetan thangka painter
becoming the deity he is painting.

I enjoy the synthesis of old & new in Soody Sharifi's work
The brilliant Mitsuru Koga, see his tiny stone vessels.
