This work seeks to encourage an instinctual reading of the figures depicted, through the use of transparent layers, varied paint consistency and careful selection of brushes. The pieces sit somewhere between drawing and painting. Drawing seems a better description: more direct, with the potential to bring poetry to simple actions. The mark-making holds the same expressive vocabulary as my sculpture: a stuttering fragmented gesture aligned with the mixed fortunes of a broken branch; a flowing lyrical line holding form tightly.
