Selected works
These drawings are made using pencil, ink or gouache on paper, through an instinctual process of repeating lines and shapes. As the drawings grow bigger, the process becomes meditative. The exploratory aspect of this process lets the drawing take on a life of its own, and the obsessive action of drawing small marks builds up to a larger structure. Many of the drawings are centrifugal – created by working outwards from the centre of the paper. More details become apparent as more time is spent looking at the drawings, inviting viewers to imagine the drawing process in reverse.
Engulfed is one my largest drawings to date, and was created slowly over the course of several months.
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.
