“To mark anything is to create a difference, maybe a world, maybe a wound, certainly an act,” wrote Pope.L (1955–2023), an artist for whom drawing was never merely a medium but a mode of thinking about the world. For more than five decades, Pope.L cultivated an expansive practice spanning performance, writing, installation, painting, collage, objects, and works on paper numbering in the thousands. For him, drawing was not simply making a mark on paper; it was an event unfolding in time.
