Simone Osthoff returns to the creative process of a drawing that she made more than twenty years ago to reflect on the importance of drawing in her art practice. An artist in the expanded field, Simone has dedicated her creative practice in the last years to writing, gardening, and cooking, as well as institution-building, teaching, and academic research. In her ever-curious and dialogical thinking, Simone compares the experiences and contributions between her many creative endeavors and plots her return to art-making in the studio, where she hopes to find new sustainable and pleasurable directions.
