Taking the photo's of liminal spaces I researched last week, I tried to explore a subset of my current thinking threads (by temporarily moving off the neurone and synapse idea). As an alternative thread I decided to explore reducing the photo views of liminal spaces to minimalist drawings... I think this area can be further explored particularly well by limiting the colours of drawings to just black and white, for example. The juxtaposition of black lines of the marks made against the white background of the paper, I felt could be "tested". Arguably, a pencil drawing can be interpreted as liminal to some degree, as there is an innate capacity to render many differing shades of light grey through to dark black. There is liminality in the marks of a pencil, but when using an ink pen however, there is ONLY a binary transition, i.e. there is no greyness, or threshold as such, the colours are only black or white, there is no in between-ness in the drawing process itself... (May be I'm on tangent boulevard with my thoughts about this? - Or is that in itself, a liminal space too perhaps... heh heh heh).
So this is how I got on....
Ian M. suggested that some further exploration of this could be made by stripping out even more detail, and allowing myself to play more with the representation.
How much do we need to delineate in order for an image to be recognisable as a form?
