ARTIST STATEMENT
The drawing board explores the human relationship with the object as tool, in production.
The world tool suggests an object imbued with action and intention: the object facilitates a function. The object, the user and their relationship determine the function. This relationship involves not only how we guide the tool, but also how it guides us.
An artifact’s design not only has the potential to influence our relationship with it but also our inter-personal relationships.
In a time of specialised roles, the tool’s ability to guide and foster positive inter-personal relationships is a very important one.
This project has focused on the act of mark making as visual communication. I believe this is a behaviour worth celebrating.
The two person drawing-board echoes the motion that exists in idea exchange. Back and forth. Different views and visions.
My aim is to materialise a space for this ideas exchange, composing this space in an interactive and honest way.
