What is a drawing?

What is a drawing?

1. I drew a black rectangle on a photocopied background.
2. I made a few photocopies of the 'drawing' (of the black rectangle).
3. The photocopied images are crumpled/crushed/folded to create the 'drawings' of the circle, triangle, and square.
4. The crumpled/crushed/folded aesthetic is intended to be part of the art.

And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
