The new areas of the plan were developed after the demolition of previous additions has revealed the original structure. The new work aligned with the original structure, the treatment of the fabric developed to subvert a direct comparison.
A constantly expanding brief for this project enabled an opportunity to create joinery elements as related but individual set pieces. Each is an exposition of ideas generated through conversation with the client. Drawings were enacted from sketches that summarised conversation, to the production by hand of cartoons (in many cases full scale) to discuss possibilities for fabrication with the contractor.
Conventional ?working? drawings were only produced as summary documents. This project more than any other expresses the connection between the act of drawing, the action of the initial sketch, and the resolved constructed line. To gain a curve or series of interlocking curves the hand passes many times over the paper. The perimeter lines are frozen and documented to set the edges of the camber. The completed elements express more about the inaccuracies and at times indecisiveness of the workings of the hand than the perfect line of the joiner?s saw bench. The crafted line in the small scale of joinery has, in other projects, been exploded into large-scale gestures.
