Personal Statement
My drawing’s are a reaction to day to day life, my personal
feeling’s and events or situations in the world at large. My
work evolves as does the natural world. I do not have entirely preconceived
ideas of what I am going to produce. The process is very slow because
the picture’s are so detailed. This contrasts with the fast
moving and changing world we are living in. The work is nevertheless
a reflection of what is happening in the world. It is descriptive
of the world but not realistic.
The drawings are a visual diary and can have many different meanings
to me as they developed. The long process enables old and new idea’s
to become interwoven. The image’s are drawn from my imagination,
picture’s and found objects or objects that are around me.
