Embracing the sketch and maquette as a final outcome.
What is it about?
The article discusses how sketching is utilised as a durational state within drawing practice and as a means to cultivate the creative potential that is afforded by the rough draft. The proceeding development of the sketch is also considered in relation to the maquette - as an equivalent three dimensional form for drafting ideas and exhibiting agency. The relationship between two and three dimensions is an ongoing area of inquiry within my practice, and is primarily explored through technological translation processes. The possibility to create a coalescence for these spaces (and the technologies that describe them) is presented through two graphic artworks that explore the role of trace and physical projection within volumetric space.
Why is it important?
The article privileges possibility over ‘polish’ and considers the inherent qualities of the incomplete as a contrast to ones relationship with finish.
