“At that time, it’s just a scratch on a plate. I find that incredibly liberating during the process, it frees me from something looking like something else. It’s meditative, it’s drawing in the purest form. However, what really attracts me to the process is the concept of transferring something into something else. How much of this will it be there? How thin is this line going to be when I let chemistry do its thing? How much control do I have - or even want -  over that? Letting go it’s as important as conscious choices, although drawing doesn’t have to be a conscious process. Once you make an image, in the brain or onto a surface, it’s almost impossible to take away traces of it in the future, and that’s what affects the content created, that’s what can’t be planned or anticipated. So as every line is created, so it’s remembered, and the next one it’s there only because the previous one was drawn. And so on. And so on.”
