About the work

Axe Drawings

< Back to Portfolio

This series of drawings was done using an axe dipped in ink, working intuitively in response the marks, as they develop.

​

I'm interested in drawing as an embodied practice - the idea of being in conversation with the paper, the axe, the ink and the feeling and experience in that moment of its making.

​

The forms and ‘language' of landscape come instinctively to me and develop in the balance between the marks and the spaces. 

​

The drawings are a response and a translation. An expression of the relationship with landscape, through the body. How the unseen and unspoken is felt.
