My embedded daydreams are what I would describe as ‘projective drawings.’

Where this “projective” drawing is pursued without any intension that that a project be realized, however-where, in other words, the project itself is fiction-some paradoxical results ensue. The artistic intension said to be absent from the drawing, and invested, if anywhere, in the thing to be constructed, is absent as well from any real site, which will never exist. We are presented with a double negative that becomes positive-a home-less intention that installs itself, after all in the surface of the drawing. In his case autonomous drawing merely masquerades as projective.
