– Beth George and Emerald Wise

This is a rumination on memory, perceived worlds, and on drawing as embodied experience and shared conversation. While visiting Drawing Matter, we attended to and later remembered spaces both drawn and physical. Produced on the floor of a roof terrace in Sicily, we moved over the drawn field as a site, layering together three spatial and temporal locales: Shatwell Farm and the archive, Palermo city—both what was visible from our apartment and our recollected walk to the sea—and Salemi, beyond the peaks, where Roberto Collovà took us to see his projects. We drew how the recent memory of marks made, both on paper and on site, impacted our experiences then and now, there and here. Thoughts and discussions (and footprints, handprints, dust) hover, cloud-like, around our little cosmos.
