“how is a Greek chorus like a lawyer they’re both in the business of searching for a precedent finding an analogy locating a prior example so as to be able to say this terrible thing we’re witnessing now is not unique you know it happened before or something much like it we’re not at a loss how to think about this we’re not without guidance there is a pattern we can find an historically parallel case and file it away under ANTIGONE BURIED ALIVE FRIDAY AFTERNOON COMPARE CASE HISTORIES 7, 17 AND 49 now I could dig up those case histories tell you about Danaos and Lykourgos and the sons of Phineus people locked up in a room or a cave or their own dark mind it wouldn’t help you it doesn’t help me it’s Friday afternoon there goes Antigone to be buried alive”

Charla breve sobre su técnica de delineado.

Me instaba a moverme por el estudio. No me hacia posar. Dibujaba sin mirar el papel. Dibujaba en el piso. Hay que seguir las líneas, decía, observar los alrededores. Un brazo delgado vuelve más triste la cara. Cuando describía sombras se achicaba, con picardía.
