2017 | Drawing - Pen and ink, alcohol-based markers, on brown paper

Dimensions - 8.5 in x 5.5 in

Presented is a set of highly intricate drawings depicting personal realisations and experiences. The inspiration for the narrative of this series comes from insights in the co-evolution of human hands and the brain, of dexterity and "intuition pumps", as well as a visual system with a broad range of depth perception. The pieces have many visual influences, and each illustrates a different story or idea.

I mix observed and imagined scenes from immediate vicinities and through self-informed compositional elements directed by hand, eye and mind (in that order). Every element of the composition informs all future mark-making, and is complete when the canvas (and my mind) is visually saturated. This process creates a feedback-loop that allows for a wholistic portrayal of and during the act of drawing.
