My drawings have developed to combine writing whilst on the move- originally recording the process of writing, and then moving on to record written data that I have seen whilst moving, such as road signs and traffic warnings. The drawings reinstate the idea of mapping that particular journey with the addition of written ‘checkpoints’ to anchor the drawing to places along the way. But whilst these words are written, only some are visible as words on the page; the pen’s line has been distorted by the movement of the car to become marks. When looking back on the drawings it is an activity of both seeing and reading- close examination reveals the presence of words, but it is a matter of translation to pick out and decipher these words from the other marks on the page. Initially on a small scale, these drawings now have the potential to span a much larger surface area, and the additional potential for this surface to be stretched across three-dimensions. I am reminded of the work of Leon Ferrari when I make these drawings; they link visually with his ink and graphite drawings of the 1960s.
