Yes! the Norton lectures, I was going to say the same to you, funny. It's so remarkable to watch him draw with willow charcoal, always in a pristine white shirt. Thanks Joe, you have always had lots to say about drawing

“This recognition or openness to seeing beyond our narrow casting of relevance is embodied in materials.” Great sentence, Joe

Thanks Ronni! At the Louisiana Museum outside of Copenhagen last summer I was reintroduced to some of Kentridge’s films. I had just finished teaching a semester where I had used willow charcoal for the first time in years. Seeing his work again—-that loop thing—-but in the context of returning to materials and being with people after the COVID chasm, the simplicity and breadth of his work hit me really hard. I highly recommend his 6 Norton lectures, Drawing Lessons on YouTube….brilliant.
