About Me

Clearing out and new ideas...



A good clearing out of old materials made way for new ideas and experimenting today... I need / cant afford more space but until then, empty wall prompts new work !
This is a series of drawings... made with a template of an old cast iron wheel rim the drawing is a snapshot in time of the swinging hoop.
Aprox 1.5 mtrs . Graphite. Gold and Blue/black inks. Cast iron wheel rim.

Warming Up...


Temperatures rising slightly in the studios this week... !
