Hidden Meadow, colored pencil and graphite on graph paper, 2’ x 4’
Hidden Meadow is a drawing developed using my MapQuest GPS data-logging sculpture. Taking the sculpture into the landscape, I used it to track my movements, which I then translated into my Hidden Meadow drawing using course-plotting software. The longitudinal and latitudinal numbers, recorded by my MapQuest sculpture’s integrated data-logger, were then translated and inscribed as individual points on graph paper, collectively, revealing my movements in the landscape.

Debris, digital print on phenolic resin, 60” x 60”
Debris was first printed in 2005 and is made up of deconstructed vector drawings developed for various projects both realized and unrealized. The process of developing the drawings starts by unlocking and ungrouping files, reducing them to individual lines, and systematically cutting and pasting them into a new image file. The resulting digital files were custom printed onto high-pressure laminate by Fessenden Hall, a local building supplier.
The personal significance of this Baldessarian process marks my shift into a CAD-based drawing environment in order to shift the way the computer aids my planning process and studio practice. This shift facilitates a more efficient connection between my ideas and the industrial processes that use CAD language to develop form.
