Following up from my post on 14th June about worthiness… I now have the big roll of paper, and I’ve started working with it. A strange thing happened…. as I was drawing there was a thought that followed a line […]

Isn’t it always the case that after a reflective period of quiet making and drawing, gradually and subtly, everything changes and before you know it, all of a sudden it’s deadline, deadline, deadline! At the moment, I am mostly making […]

The title of this post is a quote from a comment on these monoprints by an artist I admire, which I am of course rather happy about and it makes me realise how hard one has to work to make […]
