I see the traditional, historical apparatus of drawing as being pencil on paper.... By maintaining the apparatus of drawing, I can exemplify a historical starting point. In departing from this point of reference, I am able to set up a critique of the drawing discipline (where drawing is, where it has been, and where it can go). In my work, I look to challenge what graphite on paper can look like using rearrangements of these historical materials. I also deconstruct the notion of the pencil further into raw material components (wood, graphite, and clay). ---- Charmaine Ortiz
