A Miniature Manifesto
A drawing should be a thing that you can make no other way. I don’t enjoy drawings and paintings that obviously have photographs in their construction; I have always felt that if you want something with photographic qualities, a photograph is better-suited than something that tries to look like one. I think that drawing and painting have gone beyond the discipline of depicting something from observation (in that you don’t need to look at something in order to draw it), and drawing is no longer beholden to the idea of “correct” representation. I am saying that the potential of handmade images like drawings and paintings is epitomized when they are directly connected to the thoughts that make them, and by this I am saying that this happens most compellingly when the drawings are worked from memory.
