“Drawing has the potential to go to the very core of things, I’m interested in that core”

 A renewed love for drawing and especially my passion for the spontaneous and gestural mark has inspired aspects of my present work.

Artist Statement

I  moved  into Studio 106 with the aim of setting up a drawing practice and challenge myself with drawing as a methodology after an extensive  art practice in art installation.

I  did  this  for  several   reasons,  primarily  I  had   a  need   to  communicate   something  of  a personal nature and I felt that  drawing with its inherent potential for a narrative, may  serve me well in expressing this aim. In addition I strongly gravitated towards   the nature of drawing  for its  intimacy and  immediacy.

An other catalyst was, a renewed love and enthusiasm for drawing and especially for the spontaneous and gestural mark itself.

Least Resistance ( work on paper)

This series of work is the direct outcomes of some life drawing classes and my interest in abstraction and the expressive mark itself.

Wings of Icarus (work in progress)

In this series I progressively trace the narrative of the well known myth of Icarus through the means of a simple calligraphic mark.
