It feels like this terribly old fashioned thing to be an artist who loves to draw the figure. The art world is all mad for the conceptual, which I also love, but sometimes I feel the balance is off. There is still something of value in what happens between the hand, eye and paper.

My work deals with themes of human and nonhuman intelligence, and what it means to return home when the nature of home itself is nebulous and undefined. As an interdisciplinary artist with homebases in painting and printmaking, I explore the interstitial spaces between these and other media, relishing the borderlands–the slippage between idea and medium. Lens based ways of looking interact with a fierce love of materiality that echoes the earth itself, and the ways in which humanity interacts with the homeostatic systems that comprise Gaia, the living earth.

Great sketch and pose!
I love the sketchy quality of these and don’t think it is old fashioned at all.. you know the skills I have used most from years at art school all came from figure drawing classes so I think it is great to jump in and keep those skills going…xx
