When, as a child, you draw your first line with a pencil on a piece of paper, or with a stick in the sand, or a finger on a fogged window, you know nothing of the extraordinary adventure that will follow. And yet the magic of drawing has just been discovered. It is already there, silent, strange, questioning and just as exciting as the world around us and which our gaze already embraces to capture and understand it. Crossing texts, following a language other than your own, exchanging other signs, resting on word-images, listening while drawing to voices other than your own, drawing directly from books, laying down lines of gray pencil as so long ago when you had to break your terrors, taming them today, engulfing them in your imagination, transforming them into desire, to make drawings of them… once again.
