Drawing
in action
I have been experimenting with live drawing.
With my colleague John Carbery I have filmed
brief drawings at the latest Open Studios
event where we tested some quick drawing
techniques.

and wax crayon on paper.
A current strand of my work is exploring
sculptural ideas through drawing.
Change
the world - redraw it
in clay.
I work with clay because it is such a responsive
material. It is a pleasure to work with
a medium that does (almost) what you want.
Clay can be moulded when it is soft, when
pressed it holds the shape you give it,
when it dries to a leather-hard state it
can be worked like soft wood or plaster,
carved, cut and re-joined in sheets.
What to
make of clay in the 21st century?
My work has several strands of ideas running
through it, including an iconagraphy drawn
from my history as man and boy mixed liberally
with references to art and contemporary
life. I am currently working with a lot
of patterns both in my drawing and my sculptural
work.
