Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The first section begins with a formal use of projective geometry in painting, with a particular emphasis on my own use of affine geometry and the differential spaces it maps. From there I turn my attention to ideas regarding bodily actions and gestures in the formation of spatial intelligence, as described by Jean Piaget and illustrated in his and Barbel Elizabeth Inhelder’s studies of children’s drawings from the 1950s. Throughout these writings I hope to build a discussion about various visual and gestural constructions of spatial comprehension.
The reader is not restricted to follow these points in any particular order (though doing so may position the content of thoughts more soundly). Each section will have links provided suggesting a next section, as well as others to provided throughout the writing to connect a reader to supportive materials accessible elsewhere online. I do not wish to be incomprehensible in my thoughts, but I want you to roam freely. And so, if you wish, please continue on to the next section of my work and a discussion about painting, or, if you prefer, begin with any link provided along the path.
