Hello Maulfry,
Yes, I agree again.
In fact these ideas touch what interests me most in drawing (when I think
about it, not when I’m drawing) which is an understanding of the world
through the eyes that is active and personal and which at the same time
becomes equally understandable (again in a personal way) to the observer of
the drawing, both in a sensible and in a cognitive way.
This idea of images from the inside is usually disturbing to those that
think of the self as purely interactive. Myself I tend agree with you, as I
have been around these thoughts for long, and because of that I once found
in the net a paper from Paul Grobstein "From genomes to dreams"
http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/gen_beh/Dreams.html, 1996 (quickly said) an
investigation about the brain and if we make from new or not.
He gave the example of dreams as thoughts and images that come from the
inside.
Back to definitions, I understand the importance of them, but they tend to
close the possibilities of comprehend thinks if they are taken too
seriously. For me a definition of drawing is just a beginning of a discourse
or a conversation about drawing, as it is happening here which is very
interesting and agreeable.
Yours
Ana
