Drawing

Library of Automatic Drawings, Books 9 - 15, 2020 - Present. Ongoing Project.

I was awake at 5am this morning. By 5:30am, I was clasping my diary with eager hands, and began producing some automatic drawings. Usually, this is a ritual I have been undertaking for nearly ten years, but at night before going to sleep. The practice sometimes involves closing my eyes and drawing without any preconceived ideas about the subject being drawn. It’s a process I’ve really enjoyed since embarking on this ongoing project. The anticipation of revealing the marks and lines made afterwards is always exciting. I’ve always been lured by the unexpected in my work.
