I find myself exploring themes of loss, ennui and disillusion through layers of drawings, using often humorous symbols and characters based on my professional output - painting and repainting the surface as the ideas manifest during the course of the process. I have painted on canvas before, but I found my previous technique of simply projecting smaller sketchbook drawings and then filling in the gaps was far too limiting. I've since started drawing straight onto the canvas, layering with several different media- pencil, acrylic, ink, oil stick, charcoal, coffee, collage, tippex. Essentially I'm now freely drawing onto the canvas, sketching, creating ideas and images as I go along.
