But this is not the end of the story. Drawings and paintings are \u003ci\u003emade\u003c\/i\u003e, and in their making embody unique meanings that transform our perception of space-time and sense of finitude. These meanings have not been addressed by art history or visual studies hitherto, and have only been considered indirectly by philosophers (mainly in the phenomenological tradition). If these intrinsic meanings are explained and further developed, then the philosophy of art practice is significantly enhanced. The present work, accordingly, is a phenomenology of how the gestural and digital creation of visual imagery generates self-transformation through \u003ci\u003eaesthetic space\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Crowther\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
