Dynamic, sculptural drawings inspired by the figure and the tree, reflecting my fascination with the human/arboreal relationship.
Made using a reductive drawing process, where charcoal is removed to reveal the light of the surface beneath, they capture the way light catches a tree's trunk to reveal the intricacies of its scarred surface in relief. Subtle layered marks and shifts of tone suggest corporeal forms emerging from the velvety blackness of charcoal.
