Drawing and Printing – Beginnings

Drawing and Printing will be the final phase of the Future Histories project however since my relationship to drawing is more than a little remedial and the process of the Photographic Drawing is sufficiently technical that I am practicing drawing frequently and will also be creating small experimental prints to work out the technicalities of the process.

Here are some test and experiments that have been made thus far …

I do however have experience working with computer drafting for parts manufacture and will be attempting to bring that experience to bear within my developing drawing practice. I will be attempting to absorb the techniques of Giovanni Battista Piranesi and Hugh Ferriss as there work is interesting to me but are also deeply connected to the imagining of future worlds in relation to architecture.

Here are a some examples of their work :

Giovanni Battista Piranesi

Hugh Ferriss
