“We might say that there are two sections through the substance of the world: the longitudinal section of painting and the cross-section of certain pieces of graphic art. The longitudinal section seems representational; it somehow contains the objects. The cross-section seems symbolic; it contains signs. Or is it only when we read that we place the page horizontally before us? And is there such a thing as an original vertical position for writing – say, for engraving in stone? ”
Walter Benjamin (c. 1920) p. 8 – notes from Marus Bullock and Michael W. Jennings (eds.) Walter Benjamin: Selected Writings, Vol. 1, 1913-1926, Harvard, MA, 1996.

About:

A collection of drawings exploring the material qualities of graphite, ink, ink washes and acrylics... An investigation of different approaches to various subject content (not necessarily forming a narrative nor relating to each other in subject matter). These drawings represent a range of attempts at realistic depiction of form and formlessness... the simple line...
