This is the third in a series of Drawing Research Network events organised by the Drawing Research Group at Loughborough University investigating notions of drawing in relation.
This panel brings together researchers investigating different aspects of motion and sound through contemporary drawing practice. Reflecting on their recent collaboration, artist Lisa Munnelly and musician Simon Eastwood will explore the positionality of drawing in relation to music. They will discuss their work ReSurfacing (2019); an interdisciplinary improvisation between drawing and an original composition on the double bass. In approaching this work, both artists were interested in the inherent material conditions of drawing and music– how mark-making might speak to the ephemerality of music; could drawing be freed from duration? Sound somehow sustained as a surface? Kristy Gordon’s research explores the intersection of slowness and velocity through the creation of digital drawings and dimensional objects formed with hand-held power tools. A paradox between fast tools and slow affect is introduced and then deconstructed through material and processual exploration of four identified agents of slowness: time, space, experience of nature, and tools of velocity. Gordon identifies the dialogic relationship between maker and materials of velocity as a resonant exchange between artist and artefact that reveals how velocity asserts and enacts new meaning on slowness in the contemporary context. Oona Wagstaff’s research explores the potential of drawing to make sounding experience visible. Focusing on the drawn point, as opposed to the line, Wagstaff brings drawing and sounding into dialogue to examine the points’ potential as a communicative, visually sounding structure in oscillation between two and three-dimensions and between aural and visual-sounding interpretations. Here Wagstaff conceptualizes the ‘sounding-point’ as a resonant state of becoming both sound and image. The session will be chaired by James Bowen.
