CHAPTER

The Importance of Slowing Down

This book it's kind of a meditation on being present and using drawing to be present with somebody because essentially drawing is just slowing down and looking really closely. When we're doing that we're paying attention to another person in a way that we don't in our lives. At the end of life I can't think of a more important time to do that. Partly you mentioned it takes time but it's more than that. It sure can be when somebody puts a camera in my face. Well literally you're putting a piece of machinery in between two human beings in order to document a relationship. That's an interesting way to do it.
