Animation

Ink on sculpted paper-clay 2019 This is a three-dimensional drawing of a face after an Ancient Egyptian mummy mask. Its title, Animation, calls to mind the magical properties of drawing, it's conceptual power. The left eye has been left empty, whereas the right eye has the pupil drawn in and so manifests a human presence.
