Journey Drawing 'Journey to Castle Hill' carbon & graphite on paper [1.jpg

Journey Drawing to Castle Hill

April 03, 2013 in Drawing

This large scale [1.5m x 4 m] site-specific drawing was made in the spring of 2013. The journey from Holsworthy to Filleigh along the Devon lanes takes 90 minutes by car. During each journey I drew as we travelled. At the 360 gallery I stretched a large sheet of paper and drew what i could remember of each journey. The drawing took several days between 28 March - 3rd April, during which i recorded things seen, roads taken, oddities in the landscape and the shapes that described the Land. The resulting drawing is a composite alternate reality, condensing time and space, dictated by memory. I used simple materials from the ground, carbon and graphite powders and charcoal.

Snow surfing - winter playtime - great break from the #lockin #linlithgow #scotland
Scottish transport #environmetallyfriendly #roaduse #snow minus6 tonight so it’s not going anywhere soon.
Missing my studio so much - this was where I left it just before heading to Scotland to look after my mum Dec 1 - can’t wait to get back to it.  Brushes all clean and at the ready. #lockdown #londonartist #twistsandturns

No socialising - bring the party home 70s style.  A big happy Hogmanay to all let’s hope we together can make 2021 a year to be proud of despite the fall out of 2020.
