What I am working on at the moment: November 2009

The thrust of what I am interested in exploring is a sense of place and therefore self. I am interested in spatial manipulation and interpretation and how this can alter the human’s assessment of how they exist in relation to the world. This work will explore notions of the sublime and by contrast, spatial structures found in perspective theory. I will examine this through manipulation of scale, perception and through agitating the certainty of assumptions.

This work sets out to explore horizontal line and its contrasts as indicators of time and as devices against which the human can assert their existence. The horizontal line is loaded with association of time and of a level, average or point of rest. As Homo Erectus, do we subconsciously acknowledge ourselves “I am”, in relation to the horizontal line? I intend to draw attention to the "first line" which is the horizon line and how spatial dialogue is constructed around the relationship with this starting concept. The horizon is a democratic reference point which is referenced to both in perspective theory as well as (and by contrast) the sublime in landscape.

Section of landscape drawn by proxy. At the moment this drawing is incomplete.


To be continued.............


Questions addressed by this work:


  • Authenticity of mark making. Computers can do this in a fraction of the time and probably with a greater degree of accuracy, but the weight and meaning is altered because it's drawn by hand.

  • Selection of information and subversion of meaning.
