The Possible and the Impossible

540mm x 380mm

Ink and acrylic on Khadi paper, series of 3 Drawing can be a relief in as much as it is not concerned - as sculpture is - with the laws of gravity, engineering and costs. Occasionally I start a piece without any preparation, responding spontaneously to a material or found object. Most of the time however, drawing precedes and accompanies construction. Drawing is a 'cleansing' process, a freeing from those very technical problems. But it is also a playground for the imagination. Many of the drawings I do never get translated into 3D, and some are done for the pleasure of the process itself.
