The truth is I love the sensuality of the stone. Splashing ink and painting with broad strokes over a piece of limestone is a remarkable act. It is the act of making a drawing that I love and makes me a lithographer. However, it is a feckless love, an impatient infatuation that compels me to be an inconsiderate lover. To print layer over layer is beyond me, the stone is about the immediacy of the act, and so the editions are small and colour hastily applied in a mono-typing process. The one theoretical element in the work is using drawing in a way that deconstructs the forms I have previously constructed. The notions of blurring and disintegration, of dissolving and fusing, are inherent facets of the drawings here. While the imagery may be varied each picture or theme has been chosen by the immediacy of the structures. Figures, heads, mountains, are monumental and elementary and lend themselves to a treatment that causes the structure of diffuse in the space surrounding it.
