Artist Note #35 – Drawing is an Abstraction
July 2, 2025
Day 2 – OPAL AIR
Not much progress on Day 2. Feels like I need to get some things organized before I can make. My desk at home is a mess. The garage, which still has leftover supplies from my old studio during grad days, and now the space at OPAL is starting to feel cluttered.
A good place to start is my desk at home. If I can clear the desk and the stuff in the garage, then I can tackle some of the ideas in the studio at OPAL. So for now, I am taking this photo of the quote I wrote a few months ago:
Drawing is ALWAYS an abstraction to some degree: It distills essence and reconstructs it with specific intent.” – Timothy Samara, Drawing for Graphic Design
