“The process of drawing opens up my practice: loosening and disinhibiting. An intuitive response to materials and the urge to discover directs the media in new directions. Drawing has the appeal of the minimal not necessarily with regards to the image but more the materials. Our ancestors scratched burnt wood on cave walls and still artists smear and scratch charcoal graphite, chalk and pastel across surfaces.
Painting has the luxury of time: days, weeks, months and more, the image emerging slowly out of the layers. Drawing is not afforded such luxury: usually completed in one rush of creativity, time seems compressed onto the page. Drawing is the most spontaneous of the visual arts with its sense of the immediate, it is intrinsically the record of movement in time, built from the history of its own making.”
