"For me drawing is a form of thinking. But it also about medium: using the intrinsic qualities of substances and liquid: a kind of oracular process that requires tuning in to the behaviour of substances as much as to the behaviour of the unconscious, like reading images in tea leaves, trying to make a map of a path of feeling, a trajectory of thought " - Antony Gormley

An imaginary room rises up around our body, which we think well hidden when we take refuge in a corner." - Gaston Bahelard, The Poetics of Space
