I have someone who's work connects to mine and yet is different in good ways.
From the Saatchi text:
"Drawings that transcribe existing photographs operate on a tension between fast (the photograph fixing the image) and slow (the laborious transcription of something seen), and that contradiction is a way of probing our experience of the visual image and its claim to truth."*
..."so that his works occupy physical space in a way rarely associated with the photographic image: these are images that exist in our space, and must be negotiated physically."*
Not that much time has passed since the days when I felt I had to make things up when writing a bio or artist statement or exhibition text. That dark age has (at least temporarily) passed. And I am happy to read that I am not completely living in my own bubble.
In other words, sometimes I think I am crazy, this makes me feel less so.
