Perhaps I am over simplifying or maybe I'm not sound oriented enough. But
for me 'plain old drawing' is about looking and seeing and truth.
I don't quite understand your last paragraph. I don't think my drawing is an
attempt to communicate, if by communicate you mean with someone else. My
drawing is between me the paper and the object (or the abstraction). If the
finished drawing satisfies me then it is immaterial what it communicates to
anyone else. If it is 'right' then I can let it go out into the world to
hold its own conversation.
I will be at the Art College on Topsham Road, it might be fun to meet up,
Maulfry (my spellchecker is very unhappy with your name, would it be
impolite to ask where it comes from?)
