Hello,
I agreed completely with Saorsa and I saw no aggression in the remark.
Myself as I'm using English as a foreign language, I also tend to be
understood or aggressive or over cautious.
We are connecting without visual contact of expressions and so on, and
crossing cultures (which is very amusing), so maybe misunderstands happen.
I agree that drawing research is one thing, understood as theoretical or
otherwise scientific and philosophical research on drawing and visual
perception, and the artistic research acquires other characteristics.
I don’t like to mix my ideas with my drawings (as i think one draws with
lines ans shapes etc. and not with ideas), unless when wanting to make some
artistic statements or play with research itself, as an artist.
My work is exactly in a boundary between art and science, however, when
thinking about drawing I prefer not to mix with my artistic praxis; that is
why I agreed with Saorsa in the first place and saw no offence.
Yours
Ana Leonor
