Artists who passed over their works here are sharing their secrecy and intimacy, and their works disclosed the world of being. The kind of work that preceded the work of art is considered as a work of art by its own being. Oliver Mongin (1993) in The Merleau-Ponty Aesthetics Reader said that ‘it is the gestation of humanity that will go on completing itself forever improvising opened a limitless field of discovery, set forth the world “to be painted” or “to be sketched,” calling for an indefinite future of painting’.
Exploration. Observation. Expression. Construction of lifes. Whenever one may think, he/she could made contemplative act in his/her everydayness through sketching or doodling on merely any surface spontaneously. It is a way of being creative, a primordial talent that God gave to us as human being. Visual thinking is a mode of being that was practiced daily. Being open, seeing, listening, elucidating and participating in the world is essential. Although these Paperworks were made individually by particularly artists involved here, their identities appeared as suggestive reading sequences. It is necessary to mention notes from Robyn McCallum (1999):
“Concepts of personal identity and selfhood are formed in dialogue with society, with language, and with other people, and while this dialogue is ongoing,…. Conceptions of subjectivity are intrinsic to narratives of personal growth or maturation, to stories about relationships between the self and others, and to explorations of relationships between individuals and the world, society or the past …”
