Abstract

Categories of spatial experience and inner experience are explored through an inquiry into phenomenology, phenomenal art, spatial theory, contemplative practice, and eastern philosophy. An intuitive research process guides the creative practice as it materializes as immersive and sensorial installation and sculpture. The creative work is centered in the embodied perception of space and awareness of self. Perception is heightened by elements such as sound, light, and a sculp- tural environment.The aesthetic and archetypal form of the labyrinth and its paradoxicality, is contemplated philosophically and physically through readings and renderings. The space within a drawing of a lab- yrinth is transposed into a space which the viewer may enter into. The drawing of an artist momentarily assumes the role of proposal drawing for another artist's installation. This relationship between the artist's drawing and another artist's space are reimagined in an expanded field. One's creative work becomes a platform to contemplate and make space for the work of others. A sculptural object becomes a hybrid of another artist's processes or a meditation on the connection between language, drawing, and sculpture.
