Here—There (2025) is a series of line drawings developed through proprioceptive observational drawing in the studio. Attending to surfaces, edges, joints and spatial transitions through bodily awareness and repetitive mark-making, the project explores drawing as a way of registering and reinterpreting spatial experience.

Scope: Artistic and spatial research
Type: Drawing series, artist’s book
Details: Drawings, artist’s book
Format: Drawings, Artist’s Book
Status: Developed within Draw Lab at RMIT University, under the supervision of Tori Dinardo
Year: 2025

The drawings were subsequently scanned, cropped, sliced and digitally recomposed, generating new relationships between fragments and the spaces they suggest. These transformations were brought together in an artist’s book.
