"...delineation performs most of its possible functions. Meaning is not in abstraction, but in a painstaking morphology of the visual and tactile world, depicted in a draftsmanship which draws hairline distincstions between fleshy masses, hard bony protuberances, ephermeral clusters of overlapping pertals, or the fragile bodies of insects."
