cutting the edge

Not enough to look and see, and draw [though that’s a whole good thing in itself] I want more. I want to cut the edge. I want to get as close as I can to the feelings I have and then, surrounded and saturated by them, make marks. And only then, I think, will the marks be sound.

It’s not easy, and often confusing for the model, but it’s about getting close to the edge of physicality. I want to get close to the real thing, a real physicality, a presence. Not just an impression, not just dressing up.
