This site collects together examples of images taken from a range of projects and exhibitions. What it doesn’t show are the larger more ambitious works that include several stories woven together. The large drawings are full of incidents and details that you can’t really see reproduced on such a small scale. These details are often taken from smaller drawings, A4 to A1, some of which have been clustered together under headings as part of this site. Therefore the images available can be read as a sort of sketchbook.

The work reflects the fact that drawing is at the centre of my practice. The shadows and traces of hand thinking a working process that I believe links all drawing practices back into pre-history.

Recent work includes responses to walks through local communities, the continuing influence of the Western, reflections on domestic habits and loss of memory, both personal and collective.
