| These drawings are derived from actual locations. When drawn, the image begins to operate as a screen or a membrane on which the view of a surrounding condenses and congeals. Here the picture plane acts to extend the delay within which sensations begin to take hold, prolonging the flicker between a moment before-ness and a meaning-reflex. The drawings, wedged between “abstraction” and “place,” engage the viewer in a patient perceptual movement within the presented space by informing the threshold within which our surroundings always unfold as “making sense.” The drawing format operates on a scale that relates to the viewer’s body. It is no longer a “picture” to behold, but rather a space within which both the image and the observer emerge intertwined from the act of viewing itself. |  |
