Materials: Graphite on five layered sheets of vellum, backlit
RESEARCH NOTES:
“For this project, Jeff has traced an entire U.S. road atlas onto vellum.”
lines of what’s inferred to be of geographical nature, appear as veins – HUMAN ACTIVITY
movement/progression conveyed by different levels of sharpness, tone intensity and value – creates DEPTH
almost resembling the neuronal networking of the brain
has areas of higher density – where more lines meet
this could be relevant within my own practice because similarly to Calame’s work there is this contradiction between PRESENCE and ABSENCE of DEPTH
multi-dimensionality and flexibility of the brain’s cognitive processes – including; memory, recall, imagination etc.
the resulting image is paradoxically both a micro and macro image/map
again linking back to the notion of MULIT-DIMENSIONALITY of the brain
various layers not only allowing extra detail but also various points of view
Simultaneous actions of the brain that need to be considered: interchanging, dynamic, active, moving, working, analysing, focusing, stepping back, repetition, observing, waiting, shifting, connecting, disconnecting
