"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
"These works are the results of painting sessions which take place at night. often the works progress as groups, some works are accepted, others destroyed. Usually they are made in one session."
