jectories of thought or new ways to inhabit time and space. In any event, dra-
wings also have to move desire from fragments of imagination and the detritus
of memory. in this sense, Khedoori gently encourages viewers to examine more
carefully her waxed surfaces, which are not saturated mentally and materially
by narrations and figurations, but appear to be spread with traces and detritus
from her studio floor.
Leisch-Kiesl’s interesting aesthetic and philosophical analysis of toba Khe-
doori’s drawings becomes an occasion to illustrate a theory of signs in which
reception – the possibility of being theoretically and emotionally affected and
challenged by signs – assumes a special function. The large-scale and precise
yet elusive miniatures affect the vision from mark to mark, disturb any direct
assumption of meaning and give rise to thought through their unexpected
“semantic vibrations”.these convincing aesthetic and philosophical elements
give momentum to the consideration of drawing and signs in Leisch-Kiesl’s new
book and are particularly worthy of being read and discussed in contemporary
academic and artistic fields.
