Drawing, for Durham, is not a means of reproducing reality but a practice that underscores its impossibility. In this sense, the medium carries with it an intrinsic freedom, an openness that has accompanied the artist throughout his career, much like writing. His drawings, often enigmatic and seemingly accidental, move away from illustration toward a more conceptual and poetic terrain. A defining feature of Durham’s practice is his use of discarded and found papers, plane tickets, accounting sheets, drafts, or pages abandoned during artistic or literary processes. By working on these fragile and overlooked supports, Durham reclaims what was destined to disappear.
