I’ve always been drawn to the way sculptors draw. There’s something distinct—something physical, even architectural—in the way they move across the page. You can often feel space in their line, weight in their gestures, and an almost three-dimensional tension in how they present a figure or an idea. It’s as if they’re not just drawing what they see, but how a form lives in space.
