My current focus: where Jacques Derrida meets Tim Ingold.
––––THE LINE––––
What could be more ubiquitous in the human viasual-formal canon? Connectors, dividers, limiters, organizers ... paths, genealogies, frames, decorative motifs ... key to measurement, counting, and the branches of networks... It's hard to imagine almost any kind of diagram, or indeed all kinds of representational concepts, doing without the humble line.
But must the line be so humble? Is it and our use of it as simple as drawing one ‘between two points’? Has it not been used more variously than any other human symbolic or illustrative expression or mark? Does not line-making dominate a good chunk of our incredibly adaptable styles of language, thought and behavior?
My work attempts to show how we can push if not lines, their very conception further than one could imagine... until, it turns out, one easily can!
