On View
Not on viewPalaniappan’s Space Drawings series is inspired by scientific documents and flight plans, which are full of code-like text and notations. The artist views them as documents speaking a language of their own. He states: “I want to fly, to create a three-dimensional picture in actual universe space, but I can’t, so I create all of this conceptual art.”
