To spend time with an original Turner drawing and viewing it from the perspective of making a drawing of a drawing, results firstly in acting as a detective.

As more time is spent, the bravery of Turner becomes infectious and this gives me a freedom that is only tethered by my own imagination of what Turner himself might be saying to us.
