About the work
Each work is based on small notebook drawings, work I don’t normally
get the opportunity to show publicly. The finished works could be seen as tokens
of larger works, a quick art fix. The focus of my work is on pen and paper.
The work grows slowly, each line being of minute vantage. It is alive while
it is being processed and a relic when it is completed. The finished work is
a document of my handling of time. Each of the lines can be read as if to be
the cut section of a tree. They show its life span. Each line is an individual.
It is unlikely to be repeated identically even thought the process remains
the same. They are on their own quite insignificant but built up over time
they become part a whole, like the cells that make up an organ. I use simple
strategies to generate work. Treating each line as a building block, I am all
the time working towards an unknown outcome. The work is all the time growing,
becoming something. For me this ‘blind’ approach keeps the work
engaging for myself, and hopefully the viewer too.
