Drawing | Sketchbook
These recent drawings have developed through an objective understanding of my personal preoccupations, the internal workings of my body, my response to exterior and interior worlds. I am interested in the relation between intuitive cognition and the limits of a frame or boundary. These drawings often develop through an intuitive motivation leading to the development of semi-tangible space or landscape, having followed (during their making) a train of thought in tandem with an awareness of mediums and movements/gestures I employ.
I have begun to see the drawings as metrical groupings of poetic, compositional thought and action, sections of time and space, lived or experienced. Jujani Pallasmaa writes of Reima Pietila’s work, “Studies in the morphology of characteristic Finnish landscapes often revealed to him the formal layering, structure, texture and rhythms of his projects.” The Thinking Hand: Existential and Embodied Wisdom in Architecture (2009). As such, the characteristics of the spaces or ‘-scapes’ that emerge in my work connect to a Proustian remembering or realising, through memory, repetition, and application.
