we conceive the world through ninety-degree relationships : parallel, perpendicular, latitude,
longitude, global positioning. at all scales and between scales, we consider space as definable
or comprehensible in orthogonal terms. this is the prime foundation of the architects creative
space in mind and worksurface. orthography is critical to communication and measurement,
but the experience of space, and the fluidity of spatial experience, lie beyond the bounds of
orthography alone.
this work is an assembly of the orthographic and perceptual spaces we inhabit.
even in dimensional terms, we know space to relate by defined angles and distances, but we
simultaneously experience space in a way that changes in form every instant.
this work takes account of
memory emotion attention inhabitation knowledge inference sensation
as critical partners to orthography in our perception of space.
oil and light have been utilized as the primary indicators of a phenomenological departure
from a strict experience of space as orthographic.
