I almost view the act of the drawing more valuable than the drawing themselves. They almost become pre-rehearsed, very strategically throughout by Sol LeWitt.

Rather amazing (the before)

'one of the most vulnerable art forms'
So I haven't posted anything for a while but its quiet late and yet I had the urge to post something that maybe I will forget in the morning.
Drawing for me is how my love for art grew and started, drawing is the first initial step that we undertake to trigger our creative side. Some of use take to it like a duck to water, and others unfortunately drown, but that just life they eventually find their own niche I guess. I see drawings as one of the most vulnerable and yet intimate art forms, the artist express his or her thoughts and their imagination, which is laid bare as the simple thing that is viewed as a drawing.
No two drawings are ever alike, the same marks can never be recreated, just like painter no two brush strokes are every the same you make think they are but they are not. The way you hold your pen or pencil, the position of you hand;and how hard or how soft you touch the paper are always different. When drawing these are the things that you think about, well certainly what I think about when I'm drawing.
Okay so maybe you could digitally recreate a drawing, but it still doesn't have that intimate, physical interaction that it has had with the original.
Monkia Grzymala works I personally view them in relation to what I'm talking about above, as 3d sculptural drawings she almost physically embodies her works and they physically interact with herself as she moves around, as well as the architectural environment of the gallery itself, as a result no two piece of works will be the same.

Drawing
I view the world as a drawing; life is made up of colour, shape, lines, forms and structure. Even the things we don’t see are drawings, the movement me make, the marks that are left behind, our lives consists of drawings. As young children we are made to learn that a drawing is a pen to paper, a 2D form something that we do or make on surface of some sort, as we can create images from our imagination, memory or an object that we can see in front of us.
