Hello John
Again I agree, and thanks for the address, it is a very interesting work and
it does not contradict what i said, on the contrary, they are drawings that
became acquire their definition from the idea of two dimensional registers.
~
However, and with the difficulties that definitions tend to create, there is
a minimum to define drawing, from where one can expand and find, because of
the beginning point (the definition) other conceptions of creations one may
still name - a drawing.
The minimum definition of drawing, for me, implies a hand register with an
instrument that leaves some traces of its movement, and a surface.
From then on, everything becomes a possibility.
That is exactly what I enjoy doing in my work, and what Claude Heath in his
way does with his work.
Yours
Ana Leonor
