Year of the Pig

I have two small prints in Small Print at The Horsebridge Arts Centre in Whitstable. The exhibition runs until 17 June.

I’ve just added the chemo drawings I’ve done since January this year to my website: Link

This one is from April.

“I am currently on maintenance chemo so since January 2019 I have been doing a drawing every treatment day, which is generally every fortnight.

These drawings are intuitive and spontaneous, with the marks contained and held by the gridlines of the paper as well as going beyond them at times.”
