This is the first of a series of four two-week projects based around a series of studio practices, used in order to create a foundation upon which to work upon later in the year when it comes to our own individual studies. Inscription: The Poetics of Materials is a project based around drawing, sculpture and installation. It is an exploration of inscription and surface, materials and construction, objects and space. In this project we have been encouraged to explore the dynamics between mark, surface and space, and use drawing as a mode of thinking. The aim has been to focus on the visual connection between the brain and the hands, and explore the sensations of physical engagement with surface and material. We were first introduced to these ideas through the work of Richard Serra. He created a verb list, a combination of actions that can be applied to materials both in two and three dimensions. To shorten
To flow To disarrange To rotate To suspend Of tension Of gravity To support To heap To gather Of layering To enclose To bond To distill To continue Of time Of the words that Serra compiled together, these were the ones that stood out to me. But the question is how can these be applied to drawing methods, or even to existing objects?
