Leo, hi
I continue to 'evolve' the notion of 'phenomenological drawing'.
Terrible name, but I use it to indicate the way in which things draw
themselves; and then how we might observe and reflect upon, and maybe
influence, these marks. It is part of my practice as an ecological
artist and is something I develop in my Postgraduate Option, 'Drawing
on Life' - how are we, as humans connected to our environment (ground
and object / object and ground)?
All the best
David
