This drawing, titled “Tools for One”, is part of a series of the, ‘Dialectical Translations’ series. It is an exploration into the philosophical nature of computational coded language, and the role of non-literal, fallible modes of analogue translation. The drawing is my interpretation of a coded script that was produced separately by fellow artist / collaborator Alex Blanchard. The piece was drawn in pencil on a traditional architectural drawing board, employing an experimental approach that is inspired the conceptual philosophies of Dadaism, Constructivism, and Pataphysics. Within this approach, each drawing is a result of an unplanned process of drawing, with no preconceived end point in mind. In doing so, the work navigates itself into a position of resistance against the contemporary, digitally quantifiable modes of production that are found within the current architectural profession. The internal logics and rationales that lie within each drawing develop and establish themselves while the drawing is being constructed, through a slow process of spatial, formal, and compositional negotiation. It is produced with a desire to create projections that question the notion of interpretation and readability in architectural drawing. It establishes an ocular field within which it requires the viewer to, firstly, orientate themselves within the composition, and, secondly, to spatially explore the series of vectors establishing and constructing an architectural imaginary from one’s own interpretative sub-conscious. The end point may result in an abstract visual archive of architectural thinking, whilst others may manifest into far more literal projections of a possible architecture. There is always an instinctive catalyst for a drawing, but never an aim. Thanks for reading. If you have any questions about the work, please don not hesitate to get contact me. All the best, David

I'm David Boyd and I’m an artist, teacher, and trained architect based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. My work explores the relationships and tensions that lie between architectural drawing and fine art practice My drawings are hand drawn on a traditional architectural drawing board, using pen, pencil, and adjustable set square. They are produced employing an approach inspired by the philosophical notions of Dadaism, Constructivism, and Pataphysics. With this approach, each drawing is a result of an unplanned process, with no preconceived end point in mind. The logic and rationale for each drawing is developed and established while the drawing is being constructed, through a slow process of spatial, formal, and compositional negotiation. The end point may result in an abstract visual archive of architectural thinking, whilst others may manifest into far more literal projections of a possible architecture. There is always a reason for a drawing, but never an aim. The passion that drives my work is the desire to explore and create projections which question the notion of interpretation and readability in architectural drawing. I aim to create work which requires the viewer to, firstly, orientate themselves within the composition, and, secondly, to spatially explore the series of vectors and forms. The drawings are an offering to the viewer for them to inhabit and contextualise for themselves, constructing an architectural imaginary from one’s own interpretative sub-conscious. I have previously practised architecture in Bristol, UK, and, currently, teach as an architectural design tutor on the Masters in Architecture programme at Newcastle University. Alongside this, I am also studying for a PhD, which scrutinises the philosophical roles and mechanisms of architectural representation within the context of the ocular methods of hand drawn parallel projection.
