Drawing

Selected works

These drawings are made using pencil, ink or gouache on paper, through an instinctual process of repeating lines and shapes. The process becomes meditative as the drawings grow bigger, created by repeating small marks. The exploratory aspect of the process lets the drawing gradually take on a life of its own. Many of the drawings are centrifugal; created by working outwards from the centre of the paper. As viewers spend more time examining the drawings, more details become apparent, allowing them to visualise the drawing process in reverse.

Adrift, Drawing [ink on paper] 2013

Adrift was one of the first large scale drawings I made. I covered the whole sheet of paper by repeating a single leaf-like shape. The shapes create undulating lines that can be seen when viewing the work in person.
