Being Together Not Enough: Drawing on a videoed discussion made at the
Symposium: Embodied Experience of Drawing in Plymouth in 2018.

In close conversation Edward Dorrian and Oona Wagstaff openly edit the material. Between participants and interested publics. As invitation for anyone to interrupt.

E.
[Camera held in assembly. Capturing image and sound. Both in and beyond frame. Drawing begins when the camera/apparatus is switched on? Performing in and with. In front of and behind. The drawing is a continuous movement. Time. In recording. However imperfect. Or incomplete. An artificial thing that exists. Contrived between. A (drawing) practice as… making, performing and participating.]
Can something be made of this?

O.
I think there are two strands which stand out for me within the text so far;
I am interested in discussing where the drawing is in this work.
Is it the video, (artefact), made and transcribed into a fellow artefact (book)?
Was it a time-based (historical/cultural) ephemeral conversational event which has passed and means something different now?
Or is the drawing what we are now doing, as a working reflection on evolving ideas and the passage of time?
Perhaps these are different types of drawing activity?
How do we know when we are drawing and why may it matter to anyone but us?

Please see a short biography with an invitation to discuss one of the following objects
which I will bring with me.

Oona Wagstaff

Oona Wagstaff is an artist-maker, with an interest in writing, engaged in MA drawing research which investigates notions of what drawing does. Oona is interested in phenomenology and the interplay between conceptual, perceptual and physical processes within drawing practice. Oona’s work is that of a wayfarer, nomadic and experimental, seeking out the ‘space between’ as a place of investigation and exploration. Having no particular shape, it may exist in many states and forms which speak across and through different media. Oona’s current work engages with line, sound, interruption and ambiguity in the making of work which oscillates between two and three dimensional ideas, and between subject and object.
