Principle of Operation

Principle of Operation Principle of Operation is a three-year drawing project structured through fixed working conditions. Each phase establishes a distinct system based on repetition, duration, and constraint to observe how variation emerges over time. The work does not begin from a predefined image but from sustained execution under controlled parameters. In 2026, Iterative Calibration consists of 20 A1 drawings, each exceeding 50 hours of labor. The process negotiates the threshold between sensory disturbance—haptic friction and acoustic feedback—and the impulse to regulate it visually. As the graphite surface builds and friction decreases, attention shifts toward identifying and emphasizing minute irregularities within the material layer. In 2027, Systematic Suppression shifts toward frequency and control. 200 A4 drawings are produced within six-hour periods using a fixed sequence of marks and standardized materials. Compositional decision-making is restricted, redirecting focus toward detecting and enhancing deviations caused by fluctuating material conditions and bodily variation. In 2028, Deferred Accumulation takes the form of a continuous drawing on an 800 × 150 cm paper roll. A 4 cm section is worked on daily and immediately concealed, preventing access to the total image until completion. This intentional deferral eliminates the possibility of aesthetic adjustment, forcing the work to develop through pure continuity. Running in parallel, records of senses_Index functions as an ongoing auxiliary register. These two-hour sessions provide a direct record of sensory and temporal experience as it moves through the body, outside of authorial control. Across all phases, the project examines how material resistance and bodily processes generate divergence within rigid systems. The body remains central as a site of feedback, while the work maintains a distance from the concept of a stable, expressive authorial identity.
