"There's something brainy about drawing. The invitation to spell out the ways of the world through a line is analytical and gives thought towards how things are or might be. It doesn't reflect thinking so much as creates thinking; it's a way of thinking, which is perhaps why the curator, Irene Barberis, calls another exhibition Lines of Thinking at Langford120.

Like the Greeks, our artists are still capable of drawing on two levels. In its inquiring spirit, drawing today is more about showing something and at the same time showing the process of the drawing itself. In Lines of thinking, even the most representational artists, such as Rick Amor, create this tension with powerful aesthetic results."
