Kentridge, William

"There are lots of drawings that are about the need for comfort. I'm not sure if that's identical to compassion—about a 'taking' rather than a ‘giving'. Maybe the depiction of it is a giving. In the activity of making work, there's a sense that if you spend a day or two days drawing an object or an image there's a sympathy towards that object embodied in the human labor of making the drawing."
