Drawing as Memory

Use drawing to respond to your object through touch, memory, and layered material. Draw onto fabric, pages, or your previous work. Let your mark-making be instinctive, symbolic, and textural, more about presence than perfection.

Description

Explore drawing as a sensory, symbolic act. Return to your object, motif, or symbol and respond through mark- making. Work onto fabric, tracing paper, recycled pages, or print remnants. Use pencil, thread, pigment, or burn, allowing line to become a trace of thought or memory. This isn’t about skill, but about sensing, remembering, and revealing.
