surface research summary



Golden ratio or golden proportion construction drawn with ink on an A4 sheet of paper.



Three exploratory drawings after the golden proportions. Each drawing is drawn on an A4 sheet of paper.



Three drawings about a reduction construction. The square and the two rectangles have the same number of square centimetres = 441 cm2. Sitting, standing and lying formats. To get grip on the surface with specific proportions. By drawing the square and the rectangle diagonals cross points makes it possible to construct the grid with a reduction to the corner were the two diagonals meet.

After the 9 palimpsest drawings, which is a series on its own, I had to go back to the basic question what a surface is. A specific surface of paper, necessary as subsurface to draw on. Until now I defined 6 properties for the drawing surface :

1. two dimensional
2. size and proportion
3. shape
4. colour
5. materiality
6. texture

The 13 drawings shown here are about the two dimensional surface with a certain size. Different lines can be drawn on the paper through the diagonals. Horizontal and vertical dividing lines are drawn on the crossings of diagonals. By going on a dense pattern of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines will be created, which is like a mist, the subject or object can appear through this web of lines. The sculpture is in the stone, free it from the prison of the monolith, the drawing is on the paper, make it visible by accentuating or erasing in the web of lines.
