Light Beam

As with ‘Light Land’, I drew this little ‘Light Beam’ series during the days, it is only ever a few days here, of deep snow. The whole world changed into light and dark into blue shadows and intense light. I am especially fond of these two drawings. Whilst drawing I worked only with natural light as it reflected from the snow outside into my studio, I was able to be focused on the changing light conditions on the black paper, more a feeling than anything else…I can still go back there with a clear memory and a ‘knowing’ of the movement of natural light in that winter wonderland.

Light Burst

Soon after ‘Light Beam’ I felt pretty stuck, dipping into a quiet place of uncertainty and many questions, too many questions, my intentions became unclear and I lost my way. These moments are so important, even if unpleasant. I tried to find qualities of light whilst literally poking around in the dark. Some of the ‘Light Burst’ series where drawn whilst listening to music. I love music and it helped me to draw on days when I felt little motivation. It took me a few weeks of working before I realised that I was not drawing to explore light anymore and I was drawing to sound.

Light Land

The natural world is not very often present in my work, I am not thinking about landscapes when drawing, ‘Light Land’ is a bit of an exception, I felt moonlight on a snowy hill.

Light Shadow Form

Following on from ‘Shadow Form’ with ‘Light Shadow Form’ I am trying to observe and draw from memory how I think shadows move, the burred edges, almost like fog, spreading out, never settling enough in one place.

Giclee Print
Edition of 50

I recently started to manipulate graphite drawings in a digital illustration app.

The process started out of curiosity and I soon discovered that this fluid, fast and reversible method allowed me to play with aspects of my drawings that are not accessible when working purely with graphite and pastel. There is a tension in these opposed processes that I enjoy playing with.

In all my work I try to convey a sense of time through contrasting geological/universal time with impermanence. In the case of these digital drawings I am concerning myself with the movement of flickering light, I am trying to slow the flickering down by giving it a memory through repeating and layering what is usually too speedy to hold in our attention.
