Lot Essay

"Drawing inherently teaches you the process of looking. You can’t draw unless you look at something. You try to draw a seemingly familiar object like a tree and it’s not that easy; you have to have had the opportunity to look at it and see how it truly looks. And this arduous process is interesting because it’s about this taking in of an image on an almost molecular level and processing it through yourself, so you become highly intimate with those images."
- Robert Longo
