Metaphysical horizon drawings. 2002
Metaphysical Horizon Drawings. This series of drawings developed directly out the earlier series the view from my head. However, here my view changed a little. Rather than focusing on the room I might have been standing in at the time (the “real” space), these focus on a much larger expanse, clear to the horizon. They are an interpretation of the traditional theme of the figure in the landscape; each drawing being constructed around a central figure, a ground plane and a distant horizon and, finally, a supposedly more objective form, a floating abstract rectangle.
