The starting point for this drawing was a moment sitting in cafe. I’m always seeking beyond what is seen. What’s at the edges. The work is a tentative exploration; an imaginative proposal.

I’m making a drawing a day in August.
Each one is from a remembered moment seen or experienced on the day. Sometimes I've worked from a photo or sketch as a prompt but often it’s a sensation or visual quality that provides the starting point.

As usual I’ll be posting at end of day which can end in early hours of next day!
