Collaborative Drawing Study

"Study is what you do with other people. It's talking and walking around, working, dancing, suffering, some irreducible convergence of all three, held under the name of speculative practice." – Fred MotenThese video experiments shows two drawings. One is linear and had the artists place objects on the lawn canvas in a specific order, and the second is non-linear, allowing the artists to choose when and where to place their objects within a span of 5 minutes. The drawings capture an arrangement of object but the magic is in the movement of bodies and shadows in space.Project, completed at at DesignInquiry in Vinalhaven, Maine, summer of 2024.
