Prompt Response
THESE SKETCHES ARE PRODUCED ON IPAD IN AN APP CALLED PAPER BY 53. THEY WERE PRODUCED OVER THREE YEARS OF COMMUTING TO THE EXPLORATORIUM FROM THE EAST BAY. MANY SKETCHES ARE OF PLACES AND THINGS (THERE IS LOTS TO DRAW IN SAN FRANCISCO), BUT THESE OF BART AND TRANSBAY BUS PASSENGERS REPRESENT A BIT OF MUNDANE INSIGHT AND CHERISHED QUIET TIME MIXED IN WITH THE EVERYDAY. BY SKETCHING, I ENGRAIN IN MY MEMORY BRIEF MOMENTS THAT KEEP ME AWARE OF WHERE I AM, WHERE I’M GOING, AND WHAT I’M DOING. I OFTEN SEE THESE PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN A SILENT CONVERSATION.
