Why drawing? I am drawing because I want to be in the ”drawing room”. This room to me means the mental room I enter when I put paper upon the wall and pick up a piece of charcoal or whatever I want to use for drawing. There I am, standing in a stream of images, fragments of memories, traces of experiences and reflections.
I often start at a furious pace, with many sheets of paper, large areas, at a high tempo. The sounds and scratches of charcoal when it meets the paper, or the graphite crayon as it squeeks, evoke something in me. I like these sounds and I like to wrestle with materials to give that blackness which tells me about stillness and focus.
With the same piece of charcoal or crayon I can find myself talking with something very light and fragile, something which almost has no voice. Talking, drawing, listening, drawing.
In this way a series of drawings appear. I am always looking forward to these ‘talks’.
