These portraits of each other, drawn in pairs during as our first session, took as their inspiration the dictum from Paul Klee: ‘A line is a dot that that went for a walk; a drawing is a line that went for walk.’ We put our pen on the paper and, once we had started, we could not go backwards, only forwards. In so doing, we reflected on what it means to begin to create: to gather the courage to begin to do something where there is no going back. And, in sharing our portraits with their subjects, we explored what it means to make a statement about the world and to submit ourselves to the judgement of others.
