Whatever the line may ‘be’, in ‘Pataphysical drawing, translation does not originate from something pre-conceived or definitive, but instead from an unfolding labyrinth of projective and speculative thoughts. Through this, the maker is placed into a state of cognitive discovery, catalysing projections of proportion, scale, meaning, and composition that were not previously present. What is defined by a line is an open question. No matter how strict and defined a axonometric line many at first seem, through ‘Patapyscial practice a mechanism of embodied call and response is triggered, with each line revealing a possibility rather than a definitive content.
The drawings do ignore or reject the ocular precision and accuracy of axonometry and isometry, but instead disregard, misinterpret, and re-configure the logical functions of these projective methods of quantifiability. Consequently, all drawn digressions are not a deviation towards something understood, but instead are a digression toward something shrouded by the perceptive limitations of human consciousness. From this non-definitive and unguided state of reflexion, an outlier to a rational system emerges, revealing the emancipating anomaly. In this art practice, reflexion is enacted through drawing, which necessitates an intuitive and impulsive process of creation.
