With my time here @ DCR I am investigating defining some relationships of space, color, and light with the aim to evoke a sense of place and proximity. I am making models, exploring abstraction and the theatre of space, in the studio built from found, folded, and cut papers and gouache paint. As the models move into the three dimensions, on the wall and off the table, I am finding more interest in how the body interacts with hints of abstraction in perspective. It suggests to me now ideas of location and dislocation, while I move planes of color around the studio from wall to wall.

Until the end of August at DCR studio I will be continuing on from the work ‘Drawing Horizon’, which took place at Scheveningen Beach July 2010 with the support of Satellietgroep. My work is based on an expanded field of drawing practice that emerges through diverse forms of installation, video, land-art, light works, sensor-drawing, photography, living-monochromes, sound and durational events. This expanded drawing practice inquires into the relationships between spatial dynamics of human thought, phenomena and the forces in nature. The work is informed by, and contributes to, the paradigms of ecopoetics and psychogeography. Both of these paradigms engage with the relationships between the physical world and the human experience of space and time.
