Reef: Drawing in the Expanded Field

In this article we introduce a body of research on drawing in the extended field and discuss a recent outcome – Reef, an installation at the Tin Shed gallery, Sydney. The research agenda has evolved from architectural sketch drawing. The research extends the open, evocative capacity of drawing through experimental installation art works, deploying sculptural sketch objects, VR, AR and soundscapes. Reef is the second in a series exploring the landscape phenomena of seismic shock. It is a sketch of a section of seabed in Kaikōura, Aotearoa New Zealand.
