Dead and dying flowers

If the act is the thought, action is the thinking. I find that I draw differently at different times. I can be obsessed with ‘accuracy of description’ – in so far as I am technically able, and at another extreme, immersed in the energy of physical marks and surfaces. The two extremes create tidal tensions. Energy and gesture sometimes miss the point, consequently to be balanced by a period of considered description; over –descriptiveness results in tedium. The process of making marks probes subject-matter in the search for subject? This drawing was the product of the energetic end of the spectrum. Words often get in the way. It is difficult to trust entirely to the truth of action.
