When A Thousand Visions Escape:
Theories on the Topology of a Tangible Line (in 16 parts) embodies a maximal minimalist approach, using an economy of means to create an expansive whole. From micro to macro, there is an oscillation from particle to whole and back again. The imagery produced through the forms is abstracted from a wide array of sources as diverse as molecular structure, urban fragments, synthetic structure, and vast landscapes. The intersection of these sources refers to this multi-fragmented, hyper-visual culture we inhabit.
My intention was to use this space as an ‘architectural sketchbook’, giving me the room to experiment with fragments of past and present projects, and is indicative of the expansive nature of my drawing practice. Working with paper in a sculptural manner, I draw images and then cut into, through, and around the marks, freeing the images of their initial bounds. As hybrid drawings, they incorporate a sculptural element insofar as the drawing exists off the page. The drawings are intended to be site-specific, to rely on the architectural surfaces and spaces upon which they are arranged. Layered one upon another or set perpendicular to the wall, this variable placement offers a more complex existence for the marks themselves. As sculptural drawings, they exemplify an expansion of place and allow the viewer to experience the trace, movement, and complexity of the drawn forms.
