I RECENTLY CONTACTED DEBORAH HARTY AT TRACEY ABOUT MY DRAWING RESEARCH AND SHE SUGGESTED I CONTACT YOUR FORUM. IN MY EMAIL TO DEBORAH I POSED THE FOLLOWING QUESTION
I completed my Mphil/F/A at Newcastle, Australia in 2011. I am currently studying a Grad Dip of Ed at UNE and looking for research that supports my concepts on drawing, so that I may push my senior students to explore the boundaries and definitions of a drawing.
My practice is what I would term intermediary as I use drawing, painting, digital photography, video, installation and construction as my modes of expression. I have experimented with video, projecting over drawings and paintings as a way to explore ephemeral marks and the ways in which they alter the perception of a work.The elements in the videos are closely related to the elements in the drawings or paintings, and I see the video as an extension of the mark making process. My thought is that the video projection is a form of drawing, where the trace is left with the viewer....and I draw parallels to the notion of what the viewer takes with them when they leave any exhibition.
The installations that I have constructed are immersive, phenomenological experiences where the viewer walks through and interacts with the elements and projections. As the shadows of the viewer interact with the elements in the space, as well as with those of the other viewers, I consider this interaction a form of drawing with light. The viewers experience of the installation is directly related to their actions and movements.
So my problem is.....that I am looking for links that may echo this idea/s and was hoping that you may point me in the right direction as I can't seem to find any solid research along these lines. I am aware of some artists that use photography and light as a way to record movement/ drawing in the darkened landscape, but nothing that relates to the use of video projection.
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
