2112 10 sided shapes

First drawing of 2021, back at our kitchen table.

Attempting to heighten a machine drawn feel, hundreds of tiny human mistakes are always present.

I’m moving between composed drawings and ones where a pre-determined process determines the outcome. This style is composed; working on it felt like the way I used to approach paintings and collages, where each part would effect the whole and many revisions take place before a fragile balance is achieved.

I’m continuing this lockdown series, accumulating shapes in ordered and chaotic formations.

I’m continuing to draw from our flat in these weird locked down days. Two upcoming shows have been postponed indefinitely. The act of drawing is respite from thought; labour intensive activity to become lost in. This drawing has a star chart/night sky feel, employing several techniques. It’s currently composed of four A1 sheets of black card and feels like I could keep adding further sheets to it until our entire living space is consumed.
