Open Sessions Conversations: Olalekan Jeyifous & Nsenga Knight
〰️
OJ: “From a more socio-cultural perspective, I am personally drawn to the sketching and note-taking aspect that contributes to how artists and/or individuals develop their ideas through drawing.”[...]
NK: “I think drawing is accessible and open. It’s also natural in a way that even people who would not even consider what they do to be "drawing", still draw. For me drawing is a direct translation of thoughts.”
