Reduction of dimension might not be reduction to two dimensions,
and another aspect of drawing could be the reverse -- i.e. the expansion
of two dimensional drawings redrawn into three (or more) dimensions.
There have been various projects involving three dimensional drawing,
just one of which is the work by Claude Heath, some of which is in
collaboration with the School of Computing here at Leeds. (Funded by
EPSRC/AHRC through "Designing for the 21st Century" Spatiality in
Design Research Cluster)
Here is the url for a German gallery
which is currently showing some work. (I had problems with
the English version of the web site, if so try German one
to see illustrations)

Claude Heath | IN AERE AEDIFICARE -- BUILT IN THE AIR
We are pleased to announce the first exhibition by the British artist
Claude Heath in the Galerie für Zeichnung.
9 September -- 29 October
Claude Heath was born in London in 1964. Prior to his career as a
visual artist he studied philosophy at King's College.
He has been concerned for many years with the artistic analysis of
perception in general and the correlation between spatial experience,
tactility and drawing processes in particular, and has created a
large number of blind drawings of objects (plants, sculptures and
other items) made out by touch.
Heath has now entered a new media terrain, while retaining the
practice of drawing. He has become interested in the possibilities of
animated three-dimensional drawing in virtual space. Taking map
material and stereoscopic photographs as his starting point, and with
the aid of a computer programme "on holiday from mathematics",
Heath's most recent work - a video projection - explores galaxies,
texts in various languages and landscapes.
Heath has borrowed from St Augustine for the exhibition's title,
"Built in the Air" with its evocation of the proverbial
castles in the air to indicate his inhabitation of that most
insubstantial of elements. The certainties of the natural-historical
way of interpreting the world, and the one correct perspective
standpoint, have long since vanished (at the very latest with Cezanne
and the consequences of cubism). But seeing and perceiving, according
to Heath, remain a problem - whether in the light of the glut of
pop-cultural everyday images, or the high-tech telescopic gaze into
other universes or upon Ben Nevis, Scotland's highest mountain,
whose name, aptly translated from the Gaelic, means "mountain with
its head in the clouds".
Claude Heath has exhibited in numerous international galleries
(including Hales, Saatchi, Whitechapel in London, and Klagsbrun and
Kasmin in New York).
His drawings were most recently seen at the widely noticed exhibition
in Baden Baden Gegen den Strich.
