About the Work
Pencil Line:
Each drawing is by hand and uses coloured pencil on paper.
Line and repetition are
used as the most basic, modest and archaic means of mark making. There is no striving
for progressive improvement or perfection within the work; each line is drawn without
correction and blips and errors are accepted and nurtured.
There is a meditative attitude,
a relaxed control, where the act of mark making itself provides the stimulus to continue.
The
spaces between the lines are as important as the lines themselves, acknowledging
the blank background of the paper and allowing for new errors to appear and for older
ones to blossom or dissolve.
It is unhurried, taking its own time. The viewing experience evolves, rather than
being instantaneous and only one or two muted colours are used per piece.
It is a call to quiet and reflection.
