Some hurried shots of the book I completed last week. Today I’m installing my show Delicate Territories at the Baillieu Library. It will be on till the end of May. I will hopefully get some nice shots of my works in their fancy professional display cases.
Here is a copper frog for no real reason.
Images may find their way into my work quicker than expected. Resuming the colour pencil book begun in Amsterdam, my most recent images connect with those done before through repetitious curves and leading horizontals, light and hue however are sharp deviations. A pair of cold and grey, soon a pair of hot and airy.

Another pencil drawing in my book is done, abstracted geometric shapes create a flat plane in the somber background. Walking around the northern canals recently I discovered jetties of tall ships, tiny row boats and the occasional pile of maritime detritus.
I’ve been spending a bit of time in the kitchen lately cooking pasta bakes, roasted vegetables and tiny batches of cookies.

I’m planning on getting back to colour pencils soon, they capture the gloom and warm greys of urban sprawl so aptly. My tin of pencils currently lies prone at the bottom of a half packed suitcase, restrained by rubber bands. This drawing is from early this year. Initially arranged with an accompanying map and cloudscape the whole failed and they were chopped off leaving this panorama of concrete and now disassembled metal.

My first full colour work in three years, the waxiness of colour pencils make for a temperamental medium. Worth it to watch the rich invigorating hues of yellow and pink emerge from under your hand.
