Drawing is the fundamental focus of my work at this time. My interest in the process of remembering and forgetting, combined with the process of drawing, is explored through an eclectic range of materials and methods.The end result is often discovered gradually through layering. Images, colour and line are laid down on the paper surface. Decisions are made to preserve, subdue, obliterate, move, re-establish detail and more layers added. The cycle repeats. Unexpected results and accidental marks are accepted and incorporated or rejected and drawn over. It all adds to the richness and subtlety of each piece.
