Title:
Inbreak
Materials:
Watercolour, conte pastel, crayon
Description:
The image is of a dark cup or vessel, where the light has broken in and is working to create change. The light disturbs and breaks up the stillness in the dark base of the cup, and the movement starts to bring in new thoughts and ideas.
Bio:
I trained in Drawing and Painting at the Glasgow School of Art (1982-87) and have continued studio practice since then. My work is expressionist in method. I’m interested in abstraction and in visual storytelling, atmosphere and rhythm. I also make figure drawings, especially in movement.
