Drawing is at the heart of my daily practice. It is where I explore rhythm, colour, and structure with immediacy and focus. Working with coloured pencil allows me to respond quickly, embracing both chance and intuition. Edges shift, colours fall into unexpected relationships, and interruptions occur that I could not have predicted. These experiments may lead to paintings, where the same concerns are expanded in scale and gesture.

The drawings I am submitting reflect this process. Each one investigates the stripe as a generative structure—both a constraint and a possibility. I use it to explore variation, irregularity, and surprise. The element of chance ensures that each drawing finds its own resolution without repetition.

For me, drawing is both process and outcome. These works stand independently but also inform my paintings, building on fifty years of sustained artistic practice.
