The Drawing Project by Riet Eeckhout :

Organizing spatial understanding explored through drawing the moment of collapse.

This project is an exchange across disciplines between an architect (Riet Eeckhout) and an artist (Jon Tarry).

The collaboration started with a brief conversation at the RMIT Research Conference (GRC) in Melbourne and was followed by a long trail of email and phone communications between two work stations one in London and one in Perth.  The study shares a concern with spatial configurations however the applications of the outcomes differ. Jon is an artist exploring sculptural construction and Riet is an architect exploring the architecture of the built and un-built environment.  For the artist and the architect an affinity with the drawing process and how this translates forms a common ground of
visual communication.

Drawing out collapse refers to the investigation of generative methodologies of spatial
construction, (building up) and their collapse, (breaking down).

Jon Tarry is artist who predominantly makes sculptures.  He also makes films that are environmental, post structuralist films that he calls Relays. http://www.jontarry.com/

Following below are extracts out of the drawing process of ‘Drawing Out Collapse’

The drawings are drawn by Riet Eeckhout and are based on consecutive video frames of ‘ Prix d’Amour‘,  a Relay by Jon Tarry.
