DRAWINGS 2000-2005
Drawings sometimes arise outside a specific body of work. These drawings all occurred between 2000 and 2005. This period was when I first moved to regional NSW and my studio initially consisted of a cardboard box and our dining table. When my partner and I built a shed in 2003 I could finally get the rest of my studio out of storage. It took a long time to reconnect with works I had begun years before and to reestablish my creative train of thought. The works here reflect this in their diverse nature.
