For me drawing is a process of discovery, an uncovering and recording of surroundings - real and imagined. In reverence to craft, the mechanics of the drawings, as application of ink to paper through pen remains constant. The deliberate mark of line, regular and irregular, singular and multiplied is used to carve the surface of the paper. Declining the use of the smudge, each stroke relies instead on the proximity of others, accumulating density into form and space over time
