Description

Theodore Roszak would produce dozens, sometimes hundreds, of meticulous drawings of an idea for a new sculpture. Roszak explained: "I’ve always drawn, and I draw now more than ever. Drawing, for me, acts as an agent by which I can clarify my thinking, perhaps even improve on the final sculpture itself, by making the mistakes in drawing…. An insignificant part of the drawing may give rise to a complex set of relationships, and to another drawing, and then after that to another piece of sculpture. It is self-propulsive."
