  • Catalogue Essay

    “Drawing is a concentration on an essential activity and the credibility of the statement is totally with your hands. It’s the most direct, conscious space in which I work. I can observe my process from beginning to end, and at times sustain a continuous concentration. It’s replenishing. It’s one of the few conditions in which I can understand the source of my work.”
    Richard Serra
