Drawings as a way to explore life

Aside from the soothing and therapeutic effect the slow process of drawing has on us, focusing on each stroke stimulates the brain by making new connections and strengthening them through exposure and repetition.
The improbable shapes, and the imaginary world we create on a blank sheet, pushes our imagination, and allows our brain to wander outside the ordinary bounds, our education and upbringing confined it to.
We, as a result, become more alert, more resourceful and more perceptive to the world around us.

Picking up a piece of paper does away with the artificial added layer the computer screen imposes on us. We get direct access to our work, there is a communion, and a raw osmosis that gets created when, paper and pencil are the only bare tools infron tof us. We can touch them, feel them and become closely acqainted with them.

These new friends are not pixels on a screen, they are not keystrokes delivered to a cold computer, they are made of unpretentious elements and implements that we can manipulate directly without the unnatural presence of a digital and a manufactured layer
