Emma Torkington, Drawing my hand
2004
DVD
Until It Makes Sense brings together twelve artists who, through the medium of drawing, emphasise a diaristic or ritualistic tendency in their work. Utilising the correlated theme of Gerhard Richter's 1990's publication 'The Daily Practice of Painting' as an arrival/departure point, the show aims to highlight the diverse ways personal daily routine can become a catalyst for creative activity. The potential of drawing through its economy allows for the clarification of concept and execution, and thus permits the medium the platform of being a primary carrier of direct/raw or incomplete ideas. Yet, contemporary drawing has allowed itself the privileged position of being both embryonic and a finished article.
