Artist-to-Artist Conversation

Daniel Coka + Leon Finley (4 of 4)

Daniel [on drawing]: It’s performing through your body.

Leon: Totally. I always think about that. Performance as drawing, drawing as sculpture. All of these things being the same.

Daniel: For me, before I started writing or reading, the first impulsive thing I had when I was a kid was drawing. So drawing is the most basic and complicated process of creativity. I use drawing everyday, every day of my life.... It’s such a process of being here now.

A drawing with a quickly sketched figure over roughly brushed red paint. The figure has horns and sharp teeth. On its forehead are the words, “No Soy”, a heart shaped tattoo on its shoulder reads “MA”, and lettering below “Debil”.
Daniel Coka, untitled drawing, ink, rubber paint on paper, 2020-covid.

Listen to Daniel and Leon in this podcast, made in partnership with Michelle Hagewood of the Centrum Emerging Artists Residency, Port Townsend, Washington.
