UNDRAWING: A GLOSSARY OF DAILY DRAWING
UNDRAWING: A GLOSSARY OF DAILY DRAWING

Summary/Abstract: Since June 2021 I have been working on the Daily Drawing project. I draw on a daily basis and make one drawing public every day. Although I have always been drawing in (private) sketchbooks, the public format of the Daily Drawings has revitalised my practice. It forces me to reach out and to let go of control. It is the drawings that are in control and that guide me through their visual tracings. The glossary presented here is an ongoing project that aims to build an understanding of a drawing practice and of drawing in general by interacting with the Daily Drawings in a word-based language. The glossary will not analyse the drawings, but interact with them, learn from them and reach out to them. It is a speech act of undrawing in the double meaning of that word: rendering something visible (as in the undrawing of a curtain), and erasing or undoing what one has just drawn. Drawing, thus, not only as a process of learning and knowing, but also as a process of unlearning and unknowing. The glossary will engage in dialectical research of drawing as an exploratory research method complementary to writing and thinking.
