Dear Angela
I have done some research about the dialogue between art directors and designers but I don't think that is the type of collaboration you are talking about.
Have you considered the type of drawing clients get from builders and carpenters that typify the development of small scale building work?

> I have recently finished the Drawing as Process MA at Kingston and am embarking on a Drawing Dialogues initiative. I'm making a funding application for research to support the initiative, investigating dialogues where drawing is the language of communication. Such as John Berger's experience in a cafe in Istanbul where he spent an evening conversing with someone else, neither of them speaking each other's language, by drawing on table napkins. Or Raymond Carver's description of a blind man experiencing a drawing of a catherdral by feeling all over and round the edges of a piece of paper, then holding another man's hand whilst he drew.

I am curious about whether the kind of experience Frederick Franck describes when drawing people and objects is in any way reciprocated by those being drawn.
