From Naked to Nude : Drawing from Life/Luminosity/Movement/Corporeality.

 


From Naked to Nude.

Life Drawing.

Drawing as an inquiry of seeing/being/feeling

Bodies in an abstracted atmosphere of absence


Luminosity/Movement/Corporeality.


The blurring/dissolution of the conventional distinction/relationships between the figure and the ground.


The luminescent dematerialization of the subject. 


The nude, mediated by the mechanical effects of photography/blurring/fragmentation and the distance/blindness of drawing/memory.

Alternative Realities : Experimental documents, visual material from site based projects.


Twilight Abstraction : Liminal Zone.

Marking Stick : Leylines, Directions and Sites.

Found Objects : Archaeological Photogram
When you make photograms, without the use of a camera, you can indeed call that abstract photography, as the lens and the corresponding registration medium are lacking. No longer do you have pictures of reality or objects; you only have their shadows. It is a bit like Plato’s cave, where one could only imagine reality; the objects themselves were not visible.
