Artist Statement

The work submitted represents drawing as an attempt at haptic knowledge.

From an RAF surveillance photograph taken over a WW11 German naval base, a complex ink drawing is attempted as a way of decoding certain information from the image - a kind of analytic meditation on the potential meaning of an image sourced from the internet.

Can I now speak German?....No.
Do I now have insight into the nature of war?....No.
Do I now have an understanding of the image?....Yes.
