708 Drawing

Lines are among the most intuitive means to perceive and understand our environment. They are a fundamental component of everything that we see. We depend on them to recognise shapes and patterns. In order to see a line, however, we depend on nothing but the line itself. The line is so fundamental that it is constructed by nothing other than itself. This gives the line its independent aesthetics. In this sense, the line is like a living creature that does not depend on anything else than itself in order to exist or to be seen by us. My drawings have no other purpose than to present lines as independent creatures that move by themselves. For this I choose simple geometrical shapes or structures in nature. The observer of my lines is confronted with an independent entity.
