We engage with complexity by synthesizing, integrating, and re-presenting ideas in artful ways to help people see and understand more clearly. Images add life and dimension to concepts commonly restricted to words. They give us new ways of reflecting and gaining insight.

Imagine your ideas drawn—through color, space, lines, movement, scale, icons, figures, and metaphors. This is the territory of visual practice. Spoken conversation is fleeting. Visual practice makes it concrete.
The new anthology Drawn Together Through Visual Practice shows the power of visuals as a sense-making device in an age of unprecedented complexity.
In this anthology, 27 contributors share methods and insights drawn from experience. Leading professionals in visual practice, together with practitioners in other fields, delve into deep and resonant questions at the core of connection and communication.
