My new book Drawing Analogies: Diagrams in Art, Theory and Practice, co-authored with David Burrows, Dean Kenning and Mary Yacoob, is available as Open Access here. The print edition will be available to buy here from 6th Feb 2025.
Informed by Charles Sanders Peirce’s understanding of a diagram as an analogy of relations, Drawing Analogies draws on its authors’ creative use of diagrams as artists, educators and arts researchers, and on fields of inquiry that bring the arts into alignment with other disciplines, most notably anthropology, critical theory, pedagogy, philosophy, psychology, semiotics and the physical and life sciences.
By taking an artistic approach to diagrams and diagramming, by incorporating diagramming as a method of enquiry within chapters, and by exploring their interdisciplinary and multi-perspectival potentials, Drawing Analogies proposes giving new life to the art of diagramming and widening the arena of artistic practice and creative research.
