A series of small and larger scale works on paper. Black indelible felt pens, black acrylic paint, occasional drawing pencils, watercolor paper, brushes and glue. March 2020 to the present.

 

I started working on the Drawing Collages just as the world came to a halt at the beginning of the quarantine. Aware as I was of what was going on here and around the world, I chose not to get caught up in a turmoil of draining emotions. I plunged myself into my work, undertaking a very simple routine as necessary and primary as breathing. I would eat, sleep, take walks and work. I had long craved to just do this.   It was me, a minimal set of supplies and fragments of old drawings at work.

​

Elements, Landscapes, Maps and Towns, Megalithic spaces, Medieval cities, Notes and Letters, Still lives, Travels,  these are the names of the Drawing Collage series I created. Or as a friend called them, a taxonomy of the line. My Drawing Collage pieces are encounters, re-readings of much loved places, spaces, themes and works of art.
