Making Marks
Lettering, carving and sculpture
The abilty to embed a memory within a line, a mark or a word.
In my sketch book I try to captured a narrative snapshot my life and those who I share it with. Using a combination of words and images I draw directly and without planning, this is a nice contast to much of my commissioned work.
Through years of working in this way I have gained a greater understanding of how I work and what much of my work is about.
The narrative, the memory, to capture a feeling of place, time and identity.
These themes are a constant in all aspects of my work.
