UnBound: Drawings from the Book
Drawing takes advantage of the ways cognition evolved to make sense of the environments in which we find ourselves. It allows us to leave visible traces of ideas and observations that would otherwise remain hidden or lost. We can play with our thoughts on paper, turn them upside down, take them apart and put them together again in new ways. It’s not just about rendering something already seen or imagined. Drawing reveals uncertainties, ambiguities and lines of inquiry. In anyone’s hands, and in many forms, it is a broadly useful tool of thought.
- Drawing is not just for artists; it is a tool of creative and critical thought for everyone!
- Drawing takes advantage of the ways human cognition is embodied and situated in the environments in which we find ourselves.
- We think and communicate not just with words, but also with our hands and bodies. Drawing captures the traces of our movements and gestures to be reexamined and revised later on, by ourselves and by others.
- Drawing helps us fill in the gaps in our understanding and not only see better what is, but to imagine what could be.
