drawing. painting. sculpting
beauty. truth. grace.
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t trying to ‘make something ‘of the world around me.
My practice has always been grounded in observational drawing and I find myself continuing to come back to this language to try and share what I see.
There are stories in all things, tales of loss and destruction but also of great hope and redemption, small smiles and quiet humour.
A comprehensive look at my sketchbook practice, in a full colour 140 page book.
This book has been the result of distilling, collating and curating from over 100 sketchbooks worth of material, made over the last 20 years.
It is for all the students, teachers, collectors, gallerists, artists and interested folk who have ever shown an interest, pored over my sketchbooks, asked questions and insisted that a publication like this was of value.
Created in collaboration with Brisbane micro publisher Tiny Owl Workshop.
This is a limited run of 400 copies, proudly printed and bound locally.
