About
The concept of drawing is the subject of my work. The quality of the drawing material not only expresses a line but expands and contracts to expose its own surface.
My research stems from an explorative play with materials and is supported by an engagement with the intersection of New Materialism and drawing practice. The drawn gesture is embedded in spatial objects, the material itself becoming activated through its density of weight and mark.
