Like many of my classmates, I was particularly drawn to the claim that “When one marks on paper, for example, one can erase those marks, but that is actually another kind of marking that involves the interaction of material.” Lostritto makes the argument that physical drawings store a visual record of their entire history, as opposed to “drawing” in digital software, where lines and forms might be done and undone discreetly. Though I don’t entirely subscribe to the stark division between human-produced and computer-produced artwork, I like the questions which arise from viewing traditional work as a “drawing” and computed work as a “model”. What’s the difference between a model and its realization? For some media, like pen and paper, the distinction is slim. But for watercolor or acrylic, the analog-space randomness of the physical work manifests the model in novel ways, their physical properties producing inspiring aesthetics.
