Drawing and photography are central to my practice. Both make pressing - if sometimes fictitious - claims to the capture of lost moments.

Cool weather, but definitely spring - I've been working like crazy in the garden lately - I mean the really heavy stuff of digging out established shrubs that died over the harsh winter, carrying compost, clearing away so many dead branches, pruning radically. I really don't know very much about gardening, but it's good exercise, and a great activity for seeing outcomes!

Bloody hell... (à la recherche 21)

Early days yet of experiments with graphic tablet, and I still haven't remotely got the hang of it - would take me a quarter the time to do a freehand drawing. Why bother? Not quite sure - I trust in the inspirational capacities of changing the variables, I love technology, I love drawing - why not bring all those things together? Hmmm....
