Drawing Breath

To 'take a breath’ describes a physiological process and a moment of pause or meditation. Our breath connects us to the world; it provides the rhythm of life.

The drawing box project

launched in 2020 by myself and Gemma Hobbs, as part of our work with Keighley Creative. Funded by an Arts Council England Emergency Grant during the Covid-19 crisis, the project was designed to support communities while testing and launching Keighley Creative’s new branding and communications strategy.

We are saved by loss

We are descendants of the stars. Cosmic dust is an eternal element of the body’s cyclical decay and renewal. We are constant process, not complete products. We are Tertullian’s apologeticus where ‘dead starts come to life’ and ‘everything is refashioned out of death’.

Between the lines

Through my hollow drawings, I aim to create a revelatory experience of a life that feels both present and elusive..

Study Skins

Study Skins is a project I embarked on in 2009 that represents a significant evolution in my artistic journey. This series marks the transition from my earlier 2D drawings into what I now call my 3D hollow drawings.
