I just wanted to thank you for a great ta...Gideon,<br /><br />I just wanted to thank you for a great talk last night. It was great meeting you and hearing about your process and work. I am fascinated by art that delves into how we perceive our various places and spaces. I am still captivated by what can be learned from the variations between the charcoal and graphite drawings because of their approaches. In particular, I am drawn to that point at the corner of the stage that you fielded a question about. In the graphite drawing, the limitations of spacial reality start to hinder how that point comes together. In this case, it yields an interesting point in the drawing. In the charcoal drawing however, that point does not cause a problem for you. I find it amazing how our minds fill in those gaps. The way that we perceive that point is based on a combination of actual observation, and a set of ideas about space that we develop from experience and imagination. Just wanted to reiterate that. thanks again for a great talk and great work. <br />Best,<br />Adam John ManleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
