In
an attempt to make an image some odd things can emerge. Strange characters,
objects, situations, proportions and unexpected relationships all muscle their
way in. It can get pretty unruly at times.
I
don’t want to deny responsibility for what arises but I feel like the drawing
will unfold and in order not to be driven nuts by this process I must step back
and ‘let it all out’. I suppose my job is then to settle on a form of dialogue
that allows an exchange of sorts to take place.
It surprises me that the drawings are so
economical and a little odd. I think I have reached a time when I welcome a certain
rawness and I have an increasing desire to get to the point. As a consequence
the images are direct and, as far as I’m concerned, a bit odd. I am not quite
sure what is going on but that’s not my problem.
