After several years of creating abstract art, I wanted to find a way of expressing myself in ways that were intimate and emotionally engaging, yet I didn’t abandon my earlier aesthetic interests. I began with small works, mostly done from memory and mostly depicting the landscape. I remember feeling very close to these pictures, the closeness intensifying as I made more and more drawings, many of them featuring in the books on which I collaborated with Simon Cutts of Coracle Press.
