The drawings focus on inherent physical characteristics of the drawing medium. Unlike the remote precision of digital programs the drawings carry the nervous rhythms and seismic waverings of the hand made. Using the restrictions of a limited range of standardised materials each drawing adopts a fundamental drawing procedure. The drawing emerges on the paper through the gradual accumulation of this procedure. The drawings do not set out to represent or reproduce anything but are solely the direct outcome of their material components and the particular manner of their making. Over a certain duration the drawings come to rest at different densities of activity.
