Essays examining Arteanity practices in relation to established historical, critical, philosophical, and material frameworks. These texts provide points of orientation without treating existing terminology as definitions of the practices themselves.
An examination of Somacentric Trajectilery in relation to gestural abstraction, Action Painting, and gestural mark-making, focusing on bodily action, material resistance, and the point at which the comparison ceases to be sufficient.
An examination of Somacentric Trajectilery through indexicality, moving from visual resemblance to causal provenance and the bodily-material event preserved in the finished trace.
An examination of bodily movement as a selective graphic record, distinguishing the event from what its instrument, medium, support, and documentation can retain.
An examination of how an artwork can emerge before a mental pre-image, while intention still establishes materials, conditions, and local rules.
An examination of friction, contact, breakage, and depletion as active conditions of Somacentric Trajectilery, rather than imperfections in the transmission of gesture.
A reading of the Trajectile through non-objective drawing, negative space, and structural relations, with attention to orientation and the difference between emergence and design.
An examination of human physical traces, generative images, and machine-assisted drawing through causal provenance, material evidence, and the documented division between making and interpretation.
