CONTINENTAL DRIFT
Much time has been given over recently to making drawings of images on a computer screen of places that I have never been. The images are of friends houses that live in far off places. As a way of truly getting a feel for a place that I may never actually get to visit I have decided that I will be placing myself in the pictures; the question is how to do that accurately with no frame of reference as to scale or positioning. Facebook has proved a marvellous invention with its access to old friends and a chat facility; strange text conversations have provided me such information as to my friend’s height, the height of his doorway and whether or not his street is flat or inclined; now to try and translate these facts into the drawings.
As an aside I have decided to try and include the participants in my drawing project into another idea that will run in tandem over on this blogs sister page at www.howwelivecollective.blogspot.com. I will be trying to get them to all send me an image or two taken at the same time on the same day wherever in the world they may be. Hopefully the resultant blog will be posted late next week for this.
For now back to the drawing board – quite literally!
