2020 - 2021: Drawing during the Pandemic

Rather than comment on something I fully accept I have no understanding of, my approach is to process through drawing. Maybe these will not have context for me until we have passed through this time. I wanted to share them as their own block of output.

The effort to allow the process to lead has been the over riding influence while drawing. There is no intention when starting out. I lose my way often, but usually find my way back to a thread. Not always, which is a testament to the many sheets of paper that I have thrown into the trash because of too many wrong turns or a feeling that I had lost the rhythm.

The emotion of this time finds its way into the work. I do not use my drawing as political commentary but I cannot help being affected by the conditions I am in. Essentially, my work is meditation. It is meant to be looked at extensively and to allow something deeper to emerge. Then it is yours for that short moment of time.

Who thought we would be in lockdown for over a year?
