Brief collection of my automatic drawings. As a practitioner of both engineering and drawing,
I see both activities as ways of creating and communicating meaning through the use of symbols and signs. When I draw with a pen, I use it as a symbolic tool to represent the physical state of a system or my own thoughts and ideas. The specific constraints and assumptions I place on the drawing process, such as the type and size of pen I use, are also part of the system of meaning-making at play in the act of drawing. I believe that certain types of drawings, like the automatic drawings I create during extended sessions, can intersect my subconscious with the external physical world and make the invisible visible through the interpretation of symbolic marks.
