Dream drawings
For me, looking at David’s drawings is like having a dream during which one wakes up a number of times, and each time only for a fraction of a second. As the eyes move from one drawing to another, the previous image lingers, not wanting to leave the scene. The image cannot keep still, and the burst of energy that radiates from it permeates one’s mind only to stay trapped, fermenting until it reaches the point of eruption. David’s drawings stimulate one’s imagination to its full stretch and throw a flood of light onto secret thoughts which otherwise would remain shrouded. You don’t look at these drawings to discover what they are, but to discover what they do to you. I would like to add that David’s drawings are like open doors through which one can approach his sculpture.

Spot on Abbas! For me too Davids drawings evoke emotions and states of mind, subconcious ramblings! They dont let you stop thinking and seeing, they are restless, fragile and playful!!!!!! They remind me of everything yet nothing.
