Jess Gibson - "Stacks on Stacks"
300 gsm Cold Press Watercolor paper, Micron Pens Archival Ink, Indian Ink Wash on wood art panel
This piece is part of an ongoing series of drawings, where I redraw the same shapes in various configurations to explore how we see and understand architectural spaces. I start by taking complex buildings and breaking them down into simple two-dimensional drawings, focusing on elements like perspective, flow, and form. By simplifying a space, I can highlight specific aspects of how we experience them. In this piece, I am working with the repetition of small shifts and the idea of stacked weight. I experimented with building the drawing back up in 3D space by also stacking paper, creating new forms rather than recreating the original building. The edges of the paper stacks bring back light, shadow and edge conditions that are lost in 2D drawings. This subtract, add, and rework process help reveal new ways of looking at space and form, they play with our understanding of perception and perspectival drawing techniques.
