Drawing in action



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

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.
