“A drawing of a tree shows not a tree, but a tree being looked at. From each glance, a drawing assembles a little evidence. But it consists of many glances, seen together. If one accepts the metaphor of time as a flow, a river, then the act of drawing—by driving upstream—achieves the stationary. A photograph is static because it has stopped time. A drawing is static because it encompasses time.”
