In an axonometric drawing, all lines parallel to the principal axes (axonometric lines) are drawn to scale so that three-dimensional space can be rendered with all coordinates to scale and without the distortion of perspective. A cube can be conjured with extremely reduced means: a square and two diamonds. The Colour/Plane Study drawings are made up of a single rendering of a cube and three series of drawings that use built structures as models for studies on the effects of coloured planes; the Sonsbeek Pavilion, the Barcelona Pavilion, and the artist’s studio. These drawings relate to the Red Wall series of installations that explore the optical/spatial effects of the colour red in architecture.
