Aletheia Study IV
Charcoal Erasure and Graphite on Paper
18x24
2012

The fourth in a series of drawing Studies attempting to extract some drawing techniques from an intersection of Plato and Heidegger's views on truth. Here I begin to put the two philosophers in the same arena and let them duke it out a bit, playing with the tension between Plato's correspondent model of truth (graphite) and Heidegger's revealing and concealing model of truth (charcoal erasure). The temple, like the Heidegger's boots, is another example of the world-revealing nature of art as demonstrated in his "Origin of the Work of Art" essay.
