'This is my second series of figures that act as containers for layers of drawing, colour and texture. In the work, I think I'm exploring the line between painting with drawing, and drawing with paint: I'm enamoured of the way that drawing onto a surface makes an impression that remains even after layers are added and others worn back. I sometimes think of the work as an old fashioned school blackboard, in the sense that it is worked on, and seemingly wiped clean at the end of the day. But over time, the once pristine black turns to muted grey, revealing traces of the months of ideas, writing, information. In that way, my work is about time and process and history.'
