Reluctant Landscapes.

 

I used to run across landscapes, it met a need to figure out where I was and to feel a connection to places. Injuries have taken their toll and I struggle to gain much distance. Drawing now achieves the miles that my legs cannot. I draw in the same way that I ran. Outdoors in the town and country never completely planning where I was going and being open to new places and experiences. taking on challenges be they running up a hill or drawing a hill.  Doing the work outdoors is an essential aspect of my work. I walk for ages trying to find compositions and  a wall to lean on.

Drawing outdoors and responding to the environment directly sometimes feels like the only way to even stand a chance of making something meaningful.

Working outdoors means that the weather wants to join in when you start making marks on the paper sometimes it works and the moment is communicated other times you end up with mush.
