"These works on paper are made using watercolour and ink for their immediacy and subtle materiality. They are concerned with transience and trace, with a regard for the ground and the ritualistic nature of repetitive mark making."

About this work
"This is one of a few works which progress over a number of years. Papers- and on occasion cloth- are repeatedly layered over one another onto a wooden support. The papers return the support to an opaque ground on each occasion."
