LINE DRAWINGS

The drawings are concerned with the expressiveness of such linear materials as string, twine and wire and the different tensions inherent to each. By starting with the actual materials, exploring their physical qualities and repeating such childhood pastimes as cat’s cradle, sense memories are activated: these processes affect the mood and energy of the resulting drawings and the media and colours are chosen with the purpose of exploring these further. The use of oil bars, enamel paint and Indian dyes is related to specific childhood memories of colour, texture and the physical act of drawing.
