During his talk at 6:30 p.m., Watt, drawing and painting faculty in 小猪视频官网College鈥檚 Art program, will discuss his work in the exhibition. 鈥淚 am motivated by experimentation of methods and materials in drawing,鈥� he said. 鈥淢y subject matter is the drawing itself. I don鈥檛 depict resemblances to the outside world. As I draw, I observe and respond to materials. A visual order takes shape. I wrangle with it until I feel it conveys a compelling balance of tension and unity. A drawing is a long and complicated dispute.鈥�
