928 11 sided irregular shapes
Back once again on the kitchen table. The repetitive act of making these seems more important than the finished/abandoned piece.

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.

Accumulated’ second version. Many offset layers are added in the hope of achieving a solid, almost sculptural feel.

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.

Conté Crayon on black card.
Here I broke with recent tradition and drew onto a large sheet of paper. Felt tip pens allow a more precise, clear line than chalk. Looking close, the drawing is full of human error and inaccuracy. This makes it feel somehow alive, less rigid and perfect than a digitally rendered image.
The paper used is 274 x 290 cm. I want to work as large as possible. Please get in touch if you have a spare gable wall or expanse of concrete you’d like me to draw on..

I made these two geometric chalk on board pieces as a commission for Art Loves. They are both 110cm squared and to be hung as a diptych.
