It is through drawing that I believe I can begin to understand my subject and start to possess the mystery that is immediately inaccessible. I draw the things I love and try to keep it simple, in order to avoid the superfluous ornaments of composition, and focus on the integrity, grace and honesty of the individual. A good drawing is like a bad folk song: poignant and irregular.
