Letting Go, 2022

10 panels (five vertical pairs). My hands throwing things down various holes. I am calling the series "Letting Go". Combines my recent drawing strategies with stenciling that I used for years.

Charcoal, carbon and coloured pencil, spray paint through hand cut stencils on sanded paper. Each panel 22" x 20"

Passage Revisited, 2022

A drawing from a few years ago. I was never happy with the black & white and colour balance. So now reworked. The initial challenge was to execute two mirror image drawings. A real mind bender in the creation.

Charcoal, carbon pencil, digitally processed imagery as collage, spray paint on sanded paper.

Two panels: total approx 6 ft. h x 10 ft w

As I Went Walking, Shadow Detail 1

The shadow that was cast by the pole and 3 transformer was what really attracted me to this image. Initially, I struggled with trying to render it realistically. But then realized, there was no point - the shape, regardless of treatment was what was compelling
