Time Lines (Projections)

This ongoing series explores the question "What is a drawing?" and how dimensionality, architectural space, and time can affect the development of a drawing. Shadows cast by the sun coming through a window (in relation to architecture) are traced onto paper. 3D marks (made with dowels) are then interrelated with the 2D lines, creating a dialogue between dimensions. Works are then placed on the walls, floors, and corners of a space to converse and see what happens next.
